Abstract
For the task of oil changes, when emptying the oil from the oil pan, it is known to remove the oil plug and let the contaminated oil drain into a catch basin. In this invention, the oil plug is replaced with a properly threaded valve having a quick connect fitting at the other end. The quick connect end is for fitting either a hose or a plug. The hose is to facilitate the job and at the same time reduce or eliminate spillage. The plug is to protect the quick connect and to act as a back up seal for the valve.
Description
This unit is a drain flow control valve, with a removable quick connect hose, designed to replace the engine oil plug. The idea is to facilitateoil changes for the average person while keeping the environment and personal safety a priority.
The basic design is a ball valve threaded at one end to fit particular oil pan drain plug specifications including universal threads. The other end would have a quick connect thread to accoml~lod~e a hose and or plug.
Valve mel h~ni~m & threads can he changed pending efficiency, Gosts, location, available space & manufacturer's specifications.
PURPOSE & USAGE:
1. To control the flow of oil during oil changes.

PURPOSE & USAGE:
1. To control the flow of oil during oil changes.
2. To channel the oil directly to a sealable container.
3. To prevent oil spilIage.
4. For personal safety by preventing contact of cont~rnin:~ted oils with skin.
s. To protect ~e envilonment from oil cont~ -t.~ due to spillage.
. To elimin~te the need of an oil catch basin and funnel.
7. To lower the level of oil in the pan due to over filling.
8. To possibly extend engine oil life by draining some sedimented oil and replacing it with fresh oil.
. For marine use~ due to the awkward ~nd tight quarters, it would facilitate and control the oil changes and probably greatly reduce oil cont~in~nt from the w~ter ways.
10. Could prevent ~e cross threading of ~e oil pan plug.
. Would prevent the possible loss of or the drop~ g of the oil pan plug into the dirt or oil cache ~asin.
LIMITATIQNS:
1. Oil flow restriction due to ~e ~read body.
2. In some instanees the valve should not be inst~lled due to the location of ~e drain. This situation could put the valve in a vulnerable area which in turn couId cause ~e valve to be sheared off . The result would be a loss of oil in the oil pan.
3. If valve is not properly closed it could result in oil loss.

Claims
This inventive idea comprises of replacing an engine oil plug with a drain flow control valve complete with a removable quick connect hose, which in turn can be replaced with a quick connect plug, in order to facilitate oil changes and reduce or eliminate spillage &
cleanup.
The idea is to facilitate oil changes for the average person while keeping the environment and personal safety a priority.
The installed valve will control the flow of oil from the oil pan.
The removable, preferably clear for visual purposes, hose will allow the flow of oil to be contained, directed and emptied into a container of choice.
The invention is to reduce and/or eliminate oil spillage while emptying the oil from an engine oil pan.
The invention is to improve personnel safety by reducing the chance of contact of hot, contaminated oil with human skin.
The invention will also eliminate the need for an oil catch basin, funnel and plug removal tool(s).
The invention will allow a measured amount of oil to be withdrawn from the engine oil pan.
The invention is particularly needed in confined and/or awkward and/or tight quarters to dramatically improve the ease of removing oil from the engine oil pan.
The invention would prevent the possibility of cross threading the oil pan drain plug.
The invention would easily adapt to a pump for speedier oil removal.
NOTE:
Valve mechanism and threads may be changed pending efficiency, costs, location, and available space & manufacturer's specifications
