I like to run my bike to warm the oil before draining. I can't see standing there holding a screaming hot button draining oil when I can pull the plug and and have a beer as the last few ounces drain out.
Its not all about the beer, its about doing the job right....and having a beer while doing it.

My point was that the threads may go up past the lower case on the inside of the engine. This would block some oil from draining. The original plug may thread past the inside surface of the case and that's not a problem because the plug is removed for draining. The fix for that would be to shorten the threads on the quick change thingy at the risk of stripping threads in the case by over tightening the shorter threads.

You can see a spring loaded lever that you pull on and then rotate maybe a 1/4 turn. And yes, when we do oil changes in the winter, the oil is warm, but not hot. It gets to -50f where we are, so as you could understand, the oil won't be hot. With these plugs, if you are doing things right, oil won't touch your skin when you open the the valve on the plug.
This is the one I ordered:

I did opt for the one with a nipple, so I could run a hose from it if I choose to do so. Same operation as the one for our trucks looks like....
