Changing Oil Drain Plug on 2.3L recommended?

[BigHoof]

The top part of your listing is wrong and does not match the website. The 2.3 does not have the newer plastic style plug. It threads in like most normal oil pan drains. UPR doesn't make anything like that.

Valvomax.

Or on Amazon. Etc.

M12x1.75 is pretty much the standard Ford oil plug size.

Have you installed it? How do you like it? I plan to have it installed in next oil change.

It's directly off their website , not sure .

Regardless of what it says, it does not work with the 2.3. The 2.3 is a typical threaded drain plug M12-1.75. The Quick Twist Valve with Stainless Drain Tube Knob or Fumoto valve are both great options.

Replace it now!!!

...with a Fumoto valve.

Does this fitment work when reinstalling the skid-plate?

Yes! I have the factory Badlands skid plate and the Fumoto valve has the ability to swivel before you tighten it down. So, I angled it a bit, but that's only because I leave the Tygon 7/16" ID tubing zip-tied with the length resting on top of the skid plate.

FYI, there is this hose kit for the Fumoto and they upgraded the fittings to brass.
