The Stahlbus just replaces your existing drain plug so there are no clearance issues what-so-ever. Once installed it's never removed. As you will see from the pics that Larry posted there is an aluminum dust/dirt cap that screws on after you drain your oil. The cap is just to keep everything clean until next time. You just push in the connector and give it about a 1/8 turn and wha-lah, the oil starts draining out the tube into your pan. No muss, no fuss, no drips. I have one on my 2017 Jeep Cherokee also - no issues at all. The only con is the price. I think I paid around $45.00 for it. I've tried other brands but this is my choice.
