Drain plug 12x1.5
Fumoto part F-109

I did not use the soft gasket that comes with the valve on my bike or cars....Get a NEW copper washer.

What would be the reason to get the one without the adaptor versus the one with the adaptor?

I figured there would be one whiner in this post.....

A. The title was "tool free"; so stop being a tool yourself
B. Not sure what you mean here, obviously you don' know what you are talking about.
C. Google Fumoto.....HELLO how many reports of failure?
D. You hit something that substantial your aluminum oil pan will NOT survive.

Thanks for your input. An I look forward to more posts of yours
