Installed this valve the very first time I changed my oil. It makes it so easy. And when I buy new oil filters the guys at the auto shop give me wild looks when I tell them I don’t need the crush washer. :D

No fkn way I’d stick a valve on a drain plug.
Seriously how much “time” are you saving?
While it is true that bonked drain plug/pan isn’t common, it’s not that rare, and the consequences of losing all your oil, driving st speed, is massively significant. Running without oil pressure under load is usually IMMEDIATELY DESTRUCTIVE.
For that tiny convenience, you’re willing to chance that? Lol not me.
Cars have had flat plugs for close to 100 years. Valves have been around for a millennium. There’s a reason cars don’t come with valves.
You may get to discover they reason for yourself.
Y’all are about to scare me straight!
To answer your question, it’s less about time savings and more about cutting out the mess. When 0w20 oil hits the pan that stuff splatters everywhere.
