I never thought of the plastic bag trick, thanks. I'm going to slice a piece of PVC lengthwise to direct the oil. The ball valve looks good, but the idea of the oil inadvertently leaking makes me nervous.
I got mine from lubrication specialists llc. they currently have it on sale for 25.95, normally 31.95. For $3 extra you can get the hose and safety clip/snap ring that keeps the valve from inadvertently opening, although the valve lever is spring loaded to snap into a lock recess to keep it from opening without first pulling the lever forward. I paid the $3, and it's very convenient and very secure. I personnally give it 5 stars.
Ill vouch for the Fumoto drain valve... I was skeptical at first as well, its been on over 10k and its the best thing I have bought. Get the N Series though. It has the nipple! This whole setup will make oil changes the cleanest, now I just have to master the filter
Based on the recommendation of you three fine gentleman, I've ordered the Fumoto valve with the add-ons. Thanks guys. Next oil change ought to be less annoying. Thanks for the link Deer Hunter!

Your welcome. Unfortunately, your next oil change will be just as annoying since you will still have to deal with that darn drain plug and cross member one more time in order to install the ball valve. But you'll love it after that.
