sorry for the hijack but...
what I would like to know is if you can remove them without the loss of oil?
I hear a slight amount will drip out...up to a 1/4 of a cup
does anyone know for sure?
I need to install my oil pressure/temp senders but am not even close to needing an oil change

Theres probably a good quarter to half of a quart that comes out. If its anything like what happens when you up and remove the filter. Ive only had those plugs out while the pan was already drained.

well on 42draftdesigns site they are listed as 1/8" NBT...I personally helped my friend install these adapters on his evo and they did fit perfectly
so I assume 1/8" NPT
and bump for my question again

I just pulled mine out this weekend and installed a 42 Draft Design plug and defi oil temp probe. To answer the question about how much oil comes out, it is very minimal maybe 3-4 tablespoons. I just had my oil changed the day before the install and I did not have to add any oil after the install.

I used the 42 draft designs sender and warner gauges myself so i know how it went with my personal install. BTW when you remove those things use the RIGHT allen wrench which is 8mm and you'll probably want to use a open end wrench to gain leverage to get past the locktite.
Simply get them loose and they will spin freely push your figer against the plug and you unscrew and you can seal the oil in with only slight drips. Now QUICKLY either plug it with your fingers or do a swap. you shouldn't loose too much oil this way if your good with some slight of hand. Of course the clumsier your are ther more oil you loose
Also it should be noted there is a How To on this somewhere
