On your opinion of the green oil bottle.....I am not so sure
That is a good point about the sideways action using the allen wrench. Yes, it does depend on any garffing (technical term) of the plug. And yes a light tap is required but is a good thing in that it is then held in place. What I most like is being able to use a socket and ratchet. Talk about fast.
