AGS drain plugs?

[RyanY]

Has anyone around here used AGS drain plugs?

These are interesting because all of them use the same size wrench - a feature which may benefit those of us with several makes/models (e.g., Honda 17mm, Cadillac 13 mm, Toyota 14 mm, etc.). The AGS also has a built in gasket that is presumably reusable(???).

I would try one for the Toyota (mity vac doesn't work with that oil pan design) but the statement on the back of the package bothers me.

Whats the recommended torque its going to be different for a rubber gasket vs a crush washer.

I would think they should get a lower torque value but the package indicates the same - for my Honda that is 29 lb ft. and for my Toyota it is 27. This would probably trash the rubber; maybe that's why they recommend changing the plug and gasket every time...
