Easier oil change--New Housing Available from Jowett Performance

Exactly, to each their own. For me it is the simplicity and ease of use. I don't think a fuomoto would work on the oem housing, and even if it did, the fuomoto type valve Jowett uses has been pressure tested to have redundancy for the vehicle oil pressure. The other big thing for me was my filter wrench was always getting jammed on both the plastic and metal housing. It is just a poor removal design. The motivex looks like a decent alternative to avoid a mess, but it still requires unscrewing a cover and then screwing in this piece vs a flip of a switch. You are looking around $70 for that full setup, which is not bad. With the 15% discount on group buy, you are getting a much stronger housing that is easy to remove. I tried one of these:
and one of these:
and they both sucked, would get jammed, etc., which caused me to try the Jowett housing. It has made the process so much easier, I asked Brian about doing the group buy, and am going to be getting more for family members as Christmas gifts. I don't change my own oil to save money. I actually hate doing it. I just don't trust the techs at lube shops or the dealership and I want a simple process. For me the extra simplicity is worth it for me.
I just changed my oil for the first time, and like you, I hate it because it takes much longer than a simple oil change should take in my opinion. I'm going to pick this up since you feel it simplifies the process.

I used this filter wrench by Motivx, fits like a glove. It has three "teeth" on one side and two "teeth" on the other side to perfectly fit onto the housing one way. $25. I highly recommend it.
also, the plastic drain tool that comes with the filter, if you snap it into place using both thumbs as evenly as possible, zero mess.
I was looking into the drain plug replacement with the futomo valve, I'm just too paranoid of getting one that leaks.

Never had an issue with my Assenmacher TOY640 wrench (what the dealers use), and if it gets slightly stuck on the housing, a light tap on it with the ratchet causes it to fall off.
Also, never had a problem with the stock style drain nipple. I keep a short piece of tubing to stick on the end of it, and it just drains right into my drain pan.
