if you must choose out of those i would go with Kics only because i used a blox before and it was crap. had alot less threads than oem and maybe that was the reason I had issues with it sealing. I dont know how it messed up my threads but it did, so i just replaced it with an oem one. been fine ever since.

The only reason i bought one cause previous owner ruined the head of the drain plug.

$34 for a oil drain plug, wow. Like was said earlier, you can go to a parts store and get a 14x1.5 magnetic tipped oil drain plug for around $2.xx

I say dont waste your money and stick with the oem drain plug.

Well I say you get what you pay for. This thing can hold 7lbs in weight. I bet that 2.xx one can't hold jack ****.

I don't have to just go with those 2. I just only heard about those. Don't want to go and get a cheap one and not work the way / how it is suppose to.

Well, if you get the one linked above you wont have to worry about those pesky pipe wrenches getting sucked into your engine.
