Default Cutting the Air Pan for Oil Drain
Has anyone cut a hole in the plastic air pan under the engine, to allow you to drain the oil without removing said pan?

Why would this not work?

One issue would be the decreasing trajectory of the flow, it doesn't flow out straight down.

Default just put red loctite on the plug, then.......
....you never can change the oil again, so you don't have to worry about the belly pan.....
