yeah... that fumoto plug's valve was in the open position.. brand new redline oil going into the dirty drain pan...

... luckily, I was there to save the day and let him know..

Guess what? He's not the first one to have that happened to them. I know a few people with that drain valve.

One guy had the drain valve on his lawn tractor. He changed attachments on the tractor and bumped the drain valve. The tractor ran for about 20 minutes before seizing up. I helped him change motors in the tractor. When someone talks about the Fumoto valves. I always cringe.
