The Valvomax is the first drain device I've ever used so I can't really comment on it yet. In theory I like it but time will tell. I'm not worried about it being SS since you install it once and leave it. It also comes with a crush washer.

I'd be willing to bet the drain plug gasket installed at the factory was stuck to the oil pan. So likely you now have two drain plug gaskets stacked, which will probably start to seep.
