I'd be interested in hearing if this works for you.

Half the fun of changing my oil is whether or not I drop the oil drain plug in the pan or not.
I had one on my 2012 & have one on my 2015. The important thing is to get the correct one for the oil pan, and install it with a new washer. The only drawback is that it does take a little bit of time for the oil to drain. It is a whole lot better than getting splashed with warm oil... and dropping the drain plug.
