If you're going to change the oil your self (regularly), I recommend the Fumoto Oil Drain Plug. No washer to replace. It makes for a clean and simple oil change.

Another helpful note for folks that are planning on changing the oil themselves is to invest in wingnuts. . . A stick of all thread and a handful of wingnuts have made removing the cover a much quicker process.

I've broken enough pop-clips in my life not to even think about using them. I view pop-clips the same way I view valve spring retainers. They're necessary evils that I hate handling.
I'll get some pictures and look at the thread pitch the next time I crawl under my car. If anyone is interested I can put together something like an Oil Access Kit for the forum. Let's not continue to hijack this thread, shoot me a PM if you want to talk about the potential for a kit.

Raul's question about 14 bolts piqued my interest and I visited the 'oil change site'. Good job, by the way! One would think that Nissan would provide an access panel for the oil drain plug rather than require a tech to remove the entire belly pan! Hey, even my lowly Subie has one and BMW 5-Series cars have been so equipped for years and years.
