Sounds like a common oil drain valve available from any truck parts place.
They come in almost every thread ever used and with or without the hose
nipple. Recently I got a 3/4 pipe thread one and a 18mm straight thread one
as well as others in the past. The valve is a little different than a
normal valve in that the lever must be lifted slightely to clear a gate,
this keeps it from ever opening due to vibration or hitting a branch or
whatever. I have them on almost everything I own, makes oil changes much
easier. I could get a brand name maybe. If your at a loss as to where to
find them call Fuel Systems in Milwaukee WI at 262-781-4353.
