I just ordered the Fram SD-3 [$12.89, shipped], I'll post up some pictures when I get it installed.

got a link to the exact unit?
If I do this.... it only makes sense for me to do it to both my yaris & the 00 subaru legacy the better half drives.

The fram would most likely be fine, and if I could get two shipped for under $30, that saves me enough to fill my tank up with gas.

$30 savings is significant... I doubt fram would sell a product that was bound to get them sued multiple times because it easily broke when it hit dibris, or randomly leaked.

This is the link for the 12x1.25 Sure Drain

The good thing about it is its small size which means if it gets hit it'll probably be more of a glancing blow. If it was bigger it'd take a harder hit. And I doubt it'll ever leak. It's got a good internal seal, plus the cap is o-ring sealed and leak proof if tightened properly. My brother has used one for a long time, no problems and he seems to like its quality.

A photo of my Fram SureDrain with dust cap installed. Seems sweet.

My daughter took her Yaris, at my recommendation, to the dealer for an oil change. They charged her something ridiculous like $10 for the oil plug gasket. None of us are ever going to a Toyota dealership for service again. Recalls only.
