Oil drain plug extender

Looking to replace the drainplug on my 12hp Kohler with a 1 1/2"-2" nipple. What are the specs for size and thread type?

Don't always think of a street, that would be perfect in this instance.

If you can use a brass one Craig is keeps it tighter to the motor.

That one simple, quick, inexpensive, little modification has to rank as one of the bestest mods I've ever done!!!! MUCH neater!!!

Something else to consider is a drain valve such as this.

I like that.  I may have to change out my street elbow.
