RE: finger touch oil drain valve
I have it and I love it.
If you look at the pics below, you'll see that it's impossible for it to open on it's own. You hafta push the lever out and down at the same time to open it up.
Also, you'll see that it doesn't stick down far at all. In fact, it still sits higher than the front axle. I don't spend 1 second worrying about tearing it off at all. I suppose if you did a ton of heavy off roading you might want to consider it, however I still think that if you wacked it that you'd dent the pan before you ripped it off based solely on the size of the thread that you thread in.
Here's the pics ... you decide. Any questions, feel free to ask.

RE: finger touch oil drain valve
In the one picture that you see above you see that I have a small black hose on the nipple. The hose is really only about 2" long, just long enough for it to fit into the jug. Before I open the valve, I push that hose on and put a jug underneath. Once I open the valve, because the nipple is smaller than the big ole hole that's in the pan, the oil takes about a minute or so to fill the jug, so it's not really a fast paced job at all. Once the first jug fills ( which you can see from the oudside as most oil jugs have a small clear window on the side ... look at the pic again ) I close the valve, slide a new jug under it, and open it up again.
It's literally the best 25 bucks I've spent on my Ram.
