Anyone have any experience with these?

I'm thinking about trying one. Any experience with them. If memory serves me correctly the drain plug is recessed. I guess you need an adapter.

Have one, like it a lot. Makes an oil change a no tool job, as I hand tighten the filter with a film of oil on the gasket, so I can remove it with a good two-hand twist. Then just flip the little lever on the drain valve and its all good.

Very high quality brass valve, with a nice stainless ball**** seal. The valve is very heavy for its size, definitely feels like quality. No leaks at all so far. Install was a snap, just remove existing plug, then screw the valve in place with its new gasket. Its a one piece deal, as opposed to the Fram valve with its hose connector which I would promptly of lost before the next oil change.
