Default Auto transmission drain plug?

Has anybody added one to the pan? Anybody sell a kit? It sure would make fluid changes easier! Help me Mr. Wizard! :cheers: :crazy:

Most auto parts stores and the catalog places like Jeg's or Summit have them. However, if you are going to change the oil, why not do the filter too? :)

I would like to change the fluid more often. Kinda like a flushing of the fluid. I'll change the filter (DRAINING THE PAN IS EASIER AND LESS MESSY AFTER IT IS DRAINED) , but the fluid never gets completely changed. Hope fully I'll be able to dilute the old fluid more completely this way. I have 220k on my c4 by using this method. I'd like to duplicate that with my c5 (which now has 71k on it) . :cheers:
