They're all over eBay.
My fear (and the reason I never bought one) is that with our oil sump design and the way these type protrude from the bottom of the sump, a rock or road debris could catch it (or speed bump or driveway scrape) and crack the sump plate or even rip the plug right out. If it happened, you could dump all your oil and bad things would happen.

Not a good idea on our cars.

good point

Just don't shut off the engine
IIRC, Mr. Raby said if the engine is running, oil will not drain out of the sump even with the plug removed

I would not bet your engine on that....................

We have seen customers that had the drain plugs fall out, the engine's did not survive.
