nope

Changing oil isn't difficult & I want it in the engine unless I take a wrench and intentionally remove the plug. These have been around for a long time. Perhaps I'm set in my ways.

Its a 'nice' concept. Personally I prefer to know my oil drain plug is in solid.

If you dont like using a wrench to change oil then you might opt for a 'down the dip stick tube' pump for oil changes.

I have one of these on the 240D and the Excursion, not on the 300SDL yet:

The oil drains a bit slower than removing the plug, but it avoids damaging threads. Nice feature on these is the way the valve locks into place when closed. You can even install a clip so the valve will not rotate at all while in use, but I do not see that it is necessary based on design.
