On my recent MoT i noticed a couple of scuff marks on the fron crossmember of my 760, the sump plug on it is only ~1/2" above the level of the bottom of the crossmember.
If i'd had one of those valves fitted i would have probably ripped it off whenever i scuffed the crossmember!  |
i Hear that
stahlbus® oil drain valve
Fits ala , with its dust/dirt cover in place
and the extention tube is a "fit to drain" item rather than "fitted to the car"
fitting as it does, With a "dirt cover" Should be "speed hump/lovely road surface safe"

agree the "tap" shape ones , esp with the "lift to drain" lever May not be the best idea given the "lovely" state of the roads
