LEAKS! Installed correctly

DO NOT BUY! The o-ring sits correctly on the oil pan, but the o-ring does not hold the seal at all. Flows with or without pressure. I drove my car for about 6 months and did two oil changes. It stays closed but does NOT seal. I had failures all the time

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Buyers to be very aware!

I installed them on two of my Chevrolets and within a month they both drained almost all of the oil and ended up covering the bottom of my cars! I am a professional mechanic and use Dorman products all the time but...I would never put them on a car again! Don't buy unless you're trying to blow up your engine🤯

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Something else

Cool idea Cheap construction

I wish it would work, but the threaded end is too weak. If it cuts through the middle, it's very easy to overtighten and break the threads. Luckily I was able to pull everything out without any problems, but it could have been a lot worse if the threads got caught. I can't recommend it because of the cheap construction.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Incorrect installation instructions

The instructions say "the extended position is the closed position" which is wrong. The contracted position is the closed position. Unfortunately I didn't check it after install and drained all the oil because I followed the OEM install instructions. Other than that, this is a great product. The oil change takes ten minutes.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • sad hardware

Pros and cons

Like most who were intrigued by this product, I was drawn by the apparent ease of use (no tools required) to drain the oil. However, before you buy, you need to consider some aspects of cost and design. I will break them down into pros and cons: Pros - Low cost - Ease of use (no tools needed after installation) - Electrophoresis (electrolysis?) plating on the steel part (plug) Cons - No bottom connector - Notch for closed position is quite small - Combination of steel and aluminum components…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
