it all depends if u want something to get the car up, and then lift with a jack or just to drive up on a ramp and work under. if u want a ramp for slammed cars, Takata makes something for that case, and then otherwise, pep boys or autozone, advance, etc...makes some heavy duty ramps...

well another reason is this makes ya too damn lazy I don't think about safety by putting a valve on my oil pan...most shops if you take that too them around here will laugh you out the door...my shop dont touch that crap cuz the person who put it on usually fycked it up...specially those fram valves its the same concept just a turn of the nozzle not a release lever...whatever the case I'd just leave the stock plug and washer where they are...BTW IF you change your own oil I dunno if there is a bulletin or anything about this but it is reccommended to change your oil plug washer every oil change....just a heads up for some...

14x1.5 with a 17 mm head... as for the gasket it is a soft aluminum 14 mm
HONDa dealership or auto parts store...dealer is easier cuz they have honda parts not universal like parts store
