Alternative to the Fumoto oil drain valve...

[Todd Young]

Note on the web site that if you are worried about the valve opening if
it should be hit by offroading, you can use a hose clamp to hold the
lever in place.
The gentleman I ordered mine from stated that they use them on their 4x4
trucks on the oil pan and transfer case, and have NEVER used the hose
clamp "safety" and never had one open up.
