Default EZ Oil Drain valve
Anyone using this as a oil drain plug replacement?

http://ezoildrainvalve.com/index.html

They look really slick, and I'm thinking of getting one, just wondering if there's any real world experience with them out there...

Also what size for a 2009 Ultra with the 96 ci motor. they come in either 5/8 or 1/2 inch....

Thanks!

Put them on many Big Trucks and have one on my pick-up --- slick
another trick
hammer a big nail into your oil filter -- pull it out --let it drain

You do realize that flat face o-ring seal is not what a Harley really is.

I have one on my truck, the one I have is made by Fumoto I think. It works great, my only advice to you would be to put a zip tie on the valve when its closed. Just as a safety.

I think not. That thang vibrates open, it's lunchtime for the engine. Plus to me, it's the answer to a question never asked. What is easier than unscrewing a drain plug?

In short, the possibility that this trinket will fail is a lot higher than the OEM plug failing!

​​​​​​​But y'all go right on ahead. ..

Once it's screwed into the pan, how much of the threads pass the end of the bottom of the inside of the pan? This amount of oil you will not be able to drain out.

I have seen oil plugs strip out the pan to the point that the pan had to be replaced. Happened on my 2014 Limited. I still would not use one on a harley because the valve would be sticking out forward on the bottom of the bike. What happens when a rock hits it? Stock drain plug can handle the impact.
