Default Oil drain plug valve

Has anyone replaced their oil drain plug for an aftermarket option with a valve for easier DIY oil changes. And if so where did you purchase from

I just installed a Fumoto valve F103SX this past weekend on my 200t. Got it off Amazon.

Recently installed the
Fumoto F103S LC-10 Fumoto F103S LC-10
, already used it once to let out some oil to add some additives.. so far so good.. abit worrying on whether the plastic clip will dislodge, but that is a safety fall-back. I got this model coz it claims to have a smaller profile. Installation was easy.

Fumoto's site will have a list of what is suitable.

+1 on Fumoto
I put one on each of our 3 cars about 3 years ago. Works great, no problem with the clip coming off or leakage.
Now, if Lexus hadn’t put the filter in such a wonky spot or angle, changing oil would be completely mess free.
