Quick drain plug

Anyone here have used this. This is the brass colored, single lever drain plug from Genos. Looking for opinions. Do you guys notice any significant ride clearnance problems with this. After you've installed it, have you noticed that the plug gets all banged up from hanging one inch lower than the pan?

Thanks

Just installed mine from Geno's I love it and won't trade it. Front axle protects it fine.

I`ve had one for several years,no problems. Sure makes oil changes easier & cleaner.

I got mine from Geno's about 3-4 years ago. Sure is nice, has never leaked and I have never hit it. Well I do have a high 4x4 though

Worth the money for the ease of doing a quick oil change.

i asked this question not too long ago and received mixed responses.
I do know that either way I need a new plug because it has a very slow leak around the seal

My son (the shop's resident wrench-monkey) loves the Fumoto oil drain!
