I remember seeing a few years ago a company that made a hose that you would screw into your oil pan permanently to make it easier to drain the oil. I am looking for one of these for my air compressor because it is a huge pain to get to the drain plug and it makes a mess. The engine is a CAT 3054T and from what I’ve found the drain plug thread size is 3/4". Can anyone tell me the company that makes these? I found one that’s called drainzit but they seem to be too small.

for an air compressor you can just use pipe & fittings to extend the drain with a 1/4 turn at the end.
