I saw a picture somewhere with a 90 degree sump drain valve coming out the side drain port on the oil pan. Where can I get one?

See here...

I did install the valve last oil change. I managed to break the metal oil cooler baffle so I just took it off. I run about 10F hotter which is perfect for winter!
During a new install, you will have to notch the metall baffle a bit for clearance for the drain valve.
I'm looking forward to my first drain after more 25 hours. Having the oil shoot out paralell with the ground is a bummer after a while...:(
