It just makes the job a little bit cleaner...especially if you attach a tube to it.

A sunk cost of $20 isn't the same as bring it to some place that might drain your oil and forget to fill it back up :hsdunno:

WOW...and I thought changing the oil on a prelude is tough...i mean you get to bend your arm is 5 places to get to the oil filter and then risk dripping oil all down the side of your engine and crap, then you get to replace it through the same method...

Your oil filter is right there and BEYOND easy...and then you make it even easier by adding a valve.

I prefer changing the oil on my Prelude than my Integra... the prelude is not as high up in there and easier to get to.

Yeah, the filter is always the most annoying part, so whatever makes the whole process easier helps. I always end up getting some oil on my face no matter what.

I need one of those with the nipples. Draining directly into a jug is :bowdown: Then an oil filter relocation kit would be nice too.

The location of the plug on the G is not hard, but it's the bottom engine cover that's a pita. I have to remove like 100 screws to take them off. That's why I bought this thing. I'm lazy
