Installed this valve the very first time I changed my oil. It makes it so easy. And when I buy new oil filters the guys at the auto shop give me wild looks when I tell them I don't need the crush washer. :D

If you're reading this and are on the fence of purchasing one, don't. They are prone to mechanical failures and leaks, even with the most expensive ones. There's a reason most manufacturers dont include them; even the bleeding-edge exotic supercar and Formula one engineers don't use them.
