Just my 2¢: I would never install one of those valves. Sorry, just don't trust it. Hell, even on a lawnmower that comes with those "EZ Drain" valves, I've seen them fail far too many times. (I have a side gig working in small engines). And yes, I realize that a brass valve is of a much higher quality than the plastic mower oil valve. Don't care. Because of my experience with the mower valves, I always remove those infernal things and replace it with a good old pipe cap when I see them.
A mower engine is a couple hundred bucks and super easy to swap if they fail. And if I cannot trust a oil valve on something as cheap and simple as a lawnmower, I sure as HELL ain't going to put one on my car!
