They're standard across the industry and work well in all applications.

I have several. They all work fantastic. I see no reason not to use one.

I never bought one because I thought it would eventually leak either slow or all at once...

Looks like that was an unfounded worry.

Some people are very meticulous/OCD on the way they perform maintenance.

Ferrous material collecting is the concern

Are there magnets in the bottom of the oil pan on 4.0 engines? I'm sure there are in the tranny but curious about the engine.

100+ thousand miles, works the same now as when new. Makes oil changes quick and less messy.

Have the wrong valve.

Have had mine for the last two or three oil changes. Highly recommend. Remove little safety bracket thing, flip valve and come back in 30 minutes. Easy peasy.
