They can be ripped off. Chances are low, but they can be.

They don't allow 100% of the oil to drain out.

You could start by telling us that as well as the brand (Fumoto?), cost, where you got it from and why you like it so much.

Your first post was as useful as someone posting a news article without their own take on the article.

As for those valves, I've read mixed reviews on them. Yes, they are convenient and clean but I've read enough stories of them leaking or getting ripped off for me to not think the convenience is worth it.

I hit a chunk of metal in the road once and knocked a hole in my oil pan. I woulden't have something that could be knocked off like that. Undoing the plug is not difficult.

Doesn't that make it easier for someone to hop under your car, open the drain without any tools and ruin your day?

I don't park on a street in the ghetto, so I don't think this is likely.
