I have seen some kits that makes it easy to order, just wondering what is the best option, not the most convenient or cheapest option. Thx in advance for the feedback.

It says its for ROTAX engines. https://www.aviationpartsinc.com/product/curtis-oil-drain-valve-for-rotax/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last two lawn mowers I have bought have had them installed from the factory. You're right about them being slick. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
