this is the one I have, You need to probe attachment as well, there is a 180 degree and a 90 degree version. This is the link to the part. I use the 180 degree version and a section of radiator hose to just have the oil go directly into drain pan. Now if I could only fin a way to keep the case clean when the oil filter comes off.

I too have found 7 quarts is max, without just blowing it out. It tends to stabilize around 6.

That is a pretty expensive set up. $310.00 worth? Not sure I would put this on. It's so easy to just open the nose gear doors and reach up to remove the plug. I guess in thinking about it the quick drain would reduce the chance for over tightening the plug, having to keep crush washers available and wire tying. I may have just talked myself into one of these. Haha

Frank, I am going to have to show you my oil filter trick. It works about 90% on the front and 100% on the rear. Ziplock bag technique

Frank, Thanks for the link to the quick drain, Just purchased one for the front engine. They were also having a 20% off sale at the time of my purchase. My reason for getting one is to eliminate the constant removal of the drain plug. Keeping exposure low. Thanks again for the heads up.
