I prefer the Dorman design because I've stripped a few stubborn OEM 1/4" drives.

The previous owner installed the Dorman style plug. I have changed my coolant twice in the years I have owned it and it is nice to just reach in with my hand to open the drain plug.

Another Dorman vote. I replaced the wonky OEM plug with the Dorman last coolant flush and it’s much easier to work with.

Dorman. I had to change out the radiator (end tank leak) and the stock unit was already stripped and mangled. Since it was already going to be scrapped, I just drilled through it (I was a little pissed). I'll be changing out the plug for a Dorman plug shortly 👍
