What’s so great about a Ronin plug?

Anyone tried cutting an access hole in the cover?
It would be nice if you didn't have to remove it to drain the oil
That is a drag to have to remove the skid. But it’s not a big deal, plus you get to inspect shit while it’s off. I have aftermarket skids that have an access panel that comes out with 1 bolt.

I love mine. I attach the hose, let it drain slowly into my oil pan, fill up 6 quarts and boom. Every oil change has been perfect and no drips, mess or issues. The magnet on the end of it is nice too.

I have FX4 so i take two bolts out, lossen the other two and slide the skid plate out. Easy

There’s also the UPR unit along with the Ronin. Just another option. Basically the same thing just a mildly different style. The UPR has given me zero issues. Worth every dime i.m.h.o.

I have the Ronin on the 2.7 in the F150 and for me I like it because it allows draining into a 2 1/2 gallon jug without spilling a drop and then I take the used oil to recycling. As removal of the oil filter on the 2.3 Ranger is such a pain I take it to the dealership for oil changes.

Just changed my oil last night, the rival skid plate with the access hatch and the ronin (well, knock off ronin, my original got trashed by the kids at Valvoline) made it damn easy to do..
