On most of my cars, I replace the drain plug with a Fumoto valve and it's never been an issue.

I usually get most of the oil out with a Mityvac first though, so when I crack open the Fumoto there's barely anything that comes out (and was the case prior to installing the valve).

They don't work well with skid plates. Ask me how I know!

What car/skidplate?

The Primitive skid plates I've run on my WRXs and swapped Forester worked fine with the Fumoto valves, I just used one of the Fumoto valves without a nipple for additional clearance (probably could have gotten away with the regular Fumoto; the extended one definitely would have hit though).
