Hey does anyone on here use the Fumoto oil drain plug? Im thinking about getting the one with the nipple so no mo messy oil changes in my garage. Was wondering if anyone has clearance issues?

Had one on my car for 5 years so far. I didn't get the one with the nipple but my oil changes are still not very messy.. except for pulling out the oil filter, kinda hard to avoid that. Never had it scrape on anything, but unfortunatley my downpipe does over certain speed bumps :\
I have one with the nipple. Just plug a hose in, feed the hose into my oil pan and squeaky clean oil change commences. 
I was still having messy oil changes because of the filter until I figured out the "wrap a plastic bag full of rags around the oil filter" trick.
It's sticks down a little, but I've had no issues.

I have had one on my car for 75k miles with ZERO issues. I put one on my wife's civic as well.
If you are worried about scraping, don't. you'll lose your bumper before you lose the valve.
