Dorman EZ-Drain Oil Drain Valve
This is the Dorman EZ-Drain Oil Drain Valve. Size needed for 2.4 (not sure about 3.4 or 2.2) is the M12-1.75. It is a replacement for your oil drain plug. It makes for a lot cleaner oil change, and you dont have to worry about catching or losing the plug anymore.
How it works is, you tighten it down (since this will be its permanent position), and push in and twist the orange cap which opens the small drain holes on the inside of the plug. The oil then comes out the small hole and drains fairly slowly, but is definitely easier and cleaner. I feel if you let the engine run for a bit and let the oil get pretty warm, it will drain faster.
I bought this at O'Reilly for $9.99.
I just installed it, so I don't have any extended results, but will update in a couple weeks. A couple Amazon reviews said it leaks, hopefully mine won't be the case.
