Has anyone seen this? There is such a small space where the drain plug goes I'm not sure how this would fit.

Additionally -
Assuming you can squeeze it in there you'll want to be absolutely sure that it can't touch the frame crossmember under any kind of engine/drivetrain movement relative to the frame.
A busted drain valve or a cracked oil pan could result. While driving.
It might fit somebody's DeLorean in this respect. Yet it might not fit them all....so I can see why you are asking.

It works. It fits. Plenty of room. I use it. I love it.
I've replaced two oil pans from stripped threads. No more. Now it's idiot proof.

do you have to hold down the lever while it drains 7quarts or does it lock into place somehow. Also do you add a new crush washer everytime you do this?

I have a 1922 Ford Model T, which has no oil pump, and no Dipstick. You check the oil by crawling under the car and turning the upper of 2 petcocks. If oil comes out the lower petcock, you're good. If it comes out the upper petcock, you have too much.
This Engine EZ Oil Drain valve reminded me of an accessory available for the Model T. It's a site glass. Put it in place of the lower petcock, and you can see exactly where your oil level is.

Problem is, the glass would break from pebbles being thrown up from the tires. The engine would lose all it's oil (No Oil Pressure Gauge in a Moel T, not even even a dummy light!), and the driver would not be the wiser until the engine started knocking, which of course is too late!
I like that this has a 'locking' position to prevent wayward leaks....

Just got one from Toby. Simple to install. It should make my next oil changes very simple and clean. Just attach a plastic hose and open valve to drain. No more special wrench or messy oil splash around frame and floor. Highly recommend for those who have to change oil frequently.
This is what it looks like. Two parts. Valve adapter and valve body.
