Oil Drain Valve Device

jpit · 02-02-2010, 03:30 PM

I have used the Fumoto drain valve on my last four cars and they have worked flawlessly. Never have to worry about a drain plug that was put on too tight or not tight enough (or whether you need a new crush washer). When you drive your car onto ramps the drain plug is in perfect position for all the oil to drain out.

Interesting - my memory is that the Fumoto spout is a little lower than where the hole in the oil pan is, so it it should drain just as much oil as would be drained by just removing a normal oil pan plug. But I'll have to take a look next time I have the car on stands.

I'll be ordering this product soon. I'm checking on availability from the seller, so as soon as I get the confirmation then I'm going to order one.
