Not to mention the stripping potential!
My Insight's got a magnesium (brittle) oil pan, and every time I took it in for a change, I was biting my nails waiting to hear they'd stripped the threads.
So I got a Fumoto valve (not enough posts to link, but it's the first result on google)
A bit of tubing for the nipple on the end of it, and I don't have to take off the aero plates under the engine to change the oil anymore. In fact, with some careful reaching, you can just throw a shallow container under the car and reach the valve from the top of the engine compartment!
