Re: drain plug has a rubber gasket

Since I may have to replace the drain plug, I considered replacing with Fram's SureDrain kit. This replaces the cars drain plug for a special one that allows quick and "mess-free" oil changes. Anybody have experience with these kits?
I've used the suredrain plugs before, they make it easier, but they drain very, very slowly, too slow for my liking, so I switched back to the drain plug.
