I just installed one on my last oil change. (Haven't changed the
oil yet, so I won't know if there's any sediment on it or not for
a couple thousand miles.)
I got mine from Summit. The only thing I don't like about it
is that it has less than half the thread of the stock drain plug.
Hopefully it'll stay in there.
