(M20-1.5 threads ) , i just hit 1,000 miles so i didn`t get to change my oil yet but just wondering cause i was going to put a drain valve on there with like a 3 ft hose, my dad hates spilt oil on his brand new f-ing drive way, don`t want to here him bitching :laugh:

those things are junk IMHO... with how low the XR sits, your just asking for problems. use the stock drain bolt, and get a tarp out and put it around your work area. Get good at it and you will not drop one drip. seriously... save your money. you don't want to loose your oil, its quite important.

yeh you right, forgot all about that ,,,if that valve were to break off by hitting something, i would be screwed,, now i just need to go out and get a piece of tarp:top:

[SpeedX]

This thread is totally hilarious. Reminds me of my first years in the military, which I know for a fact I will never do to other Soldiers as it almost got me in trouble.
