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

Ooof. That hurts.

If it makes you feel any better, one time I accidentally drained my transmission fluid because I took off the wrong plug! That was a rather costly mistake as you can't simply add transmission fluid to fix it. You have to flush and bleed the lines, and I did not have all the right equipment. Had to have my car towed from my driveway to the shop! Oops.
