Folks,



I'm getting ready to put some 'real' oil in my engine prior to starting it up instead of the pickling juices from the builder.  I'm thinking about maintenance - I'll need to change the oil on a regular basis so I got one of the drain valves from ACS.



The question is where to put it....there are three places that are available and lend themselves to easy access.  Some a re Left, some are right, some are forward, some are aft.  Two of them are safety-wired with a square looking bolt head protruding, one of them is a recessed allen-head plug (with no safety).  I'm thinking that the safetied ones are straight thread vs NPT which would narrow my choices as I think my fitting is NPT.



The aircraft is a 6A so it sits more level than a 6 - that would be a consideration.
