Well I'd think with our debris shield that covers our oil pan and oil filter, this would be less likely of a problem, right? Especially for those of us that don't track our cars?

i dont know. My S2000 had an undertray on it already. but i assume if your not tracking the car and its not low(my s2000 was on the ground) then you should be ok. but i have still heard a fair amount of bad stories that i wouldnt trust it ever again. i'll stick with a bolt. just changing to a magnetic drain bolt to help eliminate any debris

It's been a while since I changed my oil on the G, but isn't the oil drain plug situated on the side (somewhat) of the oil pan at the bottom? For you to shear off the plug, wouldn't you have had to completely bottom out and smash up your oil pan? If that's the case, the drain plug is the least of your worries.

Changing oil is very easy. I had to do it for a while when I had my G very lowered that it wouldnt fit on the stealerships lift.

The service engine light will not come on for an oil change... you will get a maintenance reminder that you have to reset. but the service engine light shouldn't come on for an oil change interval
