I didn't like that style drain plug so I swapped it for the one that takes a 3/8" drive ratchet to remove.

24,000 miles on my plastic pan.
Remember, there have been plastic-type valve covers for almost 20 years now, without evidence of them failing. If I notice cracks in my plastic pan, I'll warranty it or replace it with metal. til then I kinda like the drain plug. Can't bugger up threads with it like googans can by overtightening bolts.
