An easier way to drain your oil?

I've run Fumotos on every car I've owned in the past 8-10 years or so - everything from F150s and Exporers to Miatas and RX7s - and have never had an issue. I can't count how many conversations I've seen about the Fumoto valve on car boards over the years (and someone *always* claims that they're dangerous 'cuz they'll get 'broken off over a bump'), but not once have I seen a post about someone actually experiencing a failure.

The Fumoto on my FC doesn't extend anywhere near far enough to catch on anything that I might run over.

Or you can make it easier by not even having to get under the car by geting on of those things that suck the oil out of the oil filler or dip stick it is like $80though.
