I’ve been using Fumoto oil drain valves for almost 30 years and have never had a single issue. The only vehicle I ever used for serious off roading was my Jeep Wrangler and it had a skid plate protecting the oil drain valve.

I have Fumoto valves on all my vehicles. Never had a problem with them. If I had a serious off-road vehicle I would probably stick with the standard drain plug as they do stick out a little. All my vehicles are high ground clearance. I can change the oil without putting any of the on ramps or jacks, just reach under and flip the switch. The other thing I use is an oil fill funnel that has threads on it. Never had a problem spilling oil. Each manufacturer usually has only one or two different threads on their oil fill caps.
