Does anyone know the size of the oil drain plug on the hybrid engine - not the bolt size but the threads. I want to replace it with one of the Valvomax or EZ drain valves. Does anyone with experience using them recommend one over the other?

I've put a fumoto valve on every vehicle I've owned to include motorcycles for the last ten plus years, never a single problem, never a single leak, just super easy oil changes. I definitely recommend fumoto
Do you have a part number for the Atkinson engine?

Thanks. Fumoto calls for the M12-1.75 for the 2.5L L4.

Thank you. I’ll wait until I get a production date then get the info passed along. We ordered the Hot pepper red hybrid XLT LUX with copilot 360 September 15th. I may get an answer on the thread before a build date.

Go with Fumoto original. That’s what I’ll be getting when it come time for an oil change. I have no idea what the clearance is with the splash guards and other stuff in way down there, but the ‘original’ is the shortest option. No need for the nipples

Another good choice for the easy drain plug if the Fumoto all brass top quality 👌

Looks like the drain plug is recessed, so fumoto recommends an extension. Still plenty of clearance though.

I changed the oil today at a little over 2,500 miles. It looked good for the factory oil. I also checked for clearance around the drain plug. It did not seem too restricted.
