Default Oil drain plug

Is there any aftermarket drain plugs that don't have a square hole? Mine is getting wallered out and I am afraid of stripping it soon.

Femco is a no spill system that works great. Initial cost kinda sucks ($70ish), but life is real good afterwards.

Engine Oil and Fluid Drain Plugs & Valves - No-Spill™ Systems

I have on on my truck, and every piece of equipment in my fleet. They are awesome.

That should be the right one. The part numbers and prices are listed. Most semi truck dealerships have them, as well as heavy duty parts stores.

Weld a big nut on it next time you change oil.

To me the design of the Fumoto won't allow all the old oil out of the pan. However, I could be wrong but seems like the threads go into deep.

I thought the same but after the first oil change with it i pulled the valve out and all that came out was slow dripping just like a plug so i'm good with that.
