Instead of getting that drain valve, you should go to sears and get one of those 15 mm open 6 sided wrenchs. They work really well when removing the oil pan plug. Not to mention, the wrench can be used for many other nut and bolt applications. I'm surprised no ones on here complaining that Ford didn't put an automatic button on the steering wheel that opens up the oil drain plug.
Anyone running a magnetic oil plug?
I like to JB weld some super strong
magnets to the side of my oil filter.
Who knew that JB weld was magnetic?

yeah **** dealers, the techs for the lube department are morons. And the tech for other departments will do just enough to get the car out of there. I know this from personal experience, I worked at ford in the heavy line department. The lube techs are mostly non-experienced kids. I remember we had a few occasions that cars fell off the lifts, lugnuts were not tighten causing wheel to come off, and forgetting to put oil. So sad. Now, not all dealers are same, but in general dealers are way overpriced for the service they offer and their quality of work is not better than some independent shops. Well **** mechanics in general, if you can do it yourself do it. If not then double check their work.
