I like using quick oil drain valve, which makes oil change easier a little. The ball valve has a lever and allows you to drain the oil by moving the lever. The valve is well-constructed and wouldn't open during your drive. It is good idea to install it if you change the oil three or four times a year. I found and bought it at:
Fumoto Quick Oil Drain Valve: Change the oil without Tools or Mess!. The price is around $20.
