    Yep, bought one from @Jowett a couple of years ago.
    They’re made of thick aluminum and come with a Fumoto drain valve on the bottom. They work well.

    We've seen some of these come in the shop with a similar issue. Just heat the aluminum up a tad bit then they come right off.

    On the vehicle tab, scroll down to Service Appointments, then Service History, and at the bottom, it says Add Record.

    Using a heat gun on the cap for about 5 minutes (low/medium setting) loosened my stuck cap after shearing a 3/8 extension trying to get it off.
