It comes in 3 or 4 types per model, doc.
Just the model number= no nipple
S=short nipple
N=long nipple
SX=side drain
Optional lock clip=LC10
On mine are the plain 1s without nipples. Here's a pic...

It's DIY friendly. If you overfill, just open the valve.....no mess.

I've been using Fumotos for a while now on multiple cars. I always check fitment & clearance prior to installation. Never had issues. Reliable. Leak free.
Please note that different cars have different clearances & thread patterns. Toyotas commonly are M12x1.25. Verify make & model match here:

Some vendors in Amazon ship here.

I'd suggest instead, buy a proper tool to fasten that plug and probably 1 pack of gasket

I do DIY maintenance. A must-have for me. Long trusted w/ lifetime warranty. No more oil pan thread-stripping. No plug seizing.
Imagine the hassle...Had to remove the pan here & weld a lever to remove a seized plug....put a Fumoto in.

Beware of copies....

Even most casa mechanics don't follow this by-the-book rule of tightening parts to specs. Kaya dapat bantayan o DIY.

To address the mess and sudden death of mechanics with prolonged exposure to vehicle fluids, get a pack of Ammex nitrile gloves that are durable and reusable.

For ease of change oil get some cheap funnel, a set of fluted cup wrench, steady jacks, crawler.

There your garage is ready for any kind of change oil. Yung mekaniko nalang ang kulang

the most questionable part of DIY oil change, is where to discard the old oil.
certainly, not the street drain!

I dispose them at nearest gasoline station or use some for anti-termite coating in the farm. Shops have recovery tanks and dispose them back to lube company with recycling facility.

Thought I was the only 1 using it for termite control. It's pretty effective.
