[Shop-talk] Oil drain plugs: Traditional vs quick-drain?

[Richard Beels]

Had Fumoto plugs since the 90s. Their springs are

You will drain out a little less oil since the 
threaded portion of the plug remains in the pan 
and the effective relative height of the opening 
is higher off the "floor" of the pan - but it's minimal.
