I've replaced my drain plug with one that has a magnet on the end just because reasons, however, I know @Traxion has one that has been fine since he installed it with the exception of the dummies at the dealership when he was still taking it there for his free oil changes I just don't recall what one he has

Anyone have the right part number without a 90 degree? Looking to have it drain straight out.
The best bet is the valvomax or the no spill system which is the one I used. These fit perfectly under the cover and come down at a near perfect angle with a hose. No spill, no mess , no leak and no more possibility of a stripped oil drain. www.nospillsystems.com The part number is 15-12150-01

Maybe a Supra GTS 2023 MT, Kia Stonic GT, Mazda CX5 GT SP
Not sure where you get the 1/4 inch figure from but even if it was the case and it worries you that much you can simply cut/grind the 1/4 inch off the threads and install it anyway. Easy. Technically you should aim for 1.5 threads longer than the female threaded component. The B58 engine like all engines of this size hides probably 2-300ml of oil you never can drain anyway.

If this is a possibility then the person changing the oil should probably leave it to someone more experienced. A torque wrench is the answer if your not sure of the "feel".

I agree that the amount of oil left after draining with one of these items is minimal. Equally important is that you can drain the oil hot since you don't have to touch it. That way most of the contaminants in the oil remains suspended and then are removed in the drain. these oil drain systems are great. I have added them to two porsches, the Supra, a Miata and a Kia. If you change your own oil you will be thankful every time that you put one on.

Phil, I appreciate your comment however there are many instances of owners taking their cars to dealers and later finding their drain plugs loose or stripped. Toyota dealers don't work on many Supras. The pans and the threads are weak and easily damaged. With any of these drains, you simply install it properly once and eliminate a potential point of failure.
