    I’m looking for the thread pitch of the oil pan drain plug for a ‘17 3.5L. I was going to use a Fumoto valve but then found the Stahlbus version. Since they sell based on thread...

    The Stahlbus has a cap and no exposed lever. It uses a tool to open a ball valve and allow the oil to flow. Seems like a safer option.

    Installed a Stahlbus valve about 4 months ago. Just did my first oil change with it. Very easy and clean way to drain engine oil. It is a little slower than pulling a drain plug but that just gives you enough time for another sip of coffee and to discover that your factory battery is leaking around the posts. DAMN IT! Off to the search bar to see what you guys recommend for a replacement battery.
