Default Qwik Valve Oil drain valve

Anyone use one of these ?

http://www.qwikvalve.com/fumoto-f103s-valve.html

I think for an RX330 its either F103S/F-103 or F103N . If so, which one did you get and how do you like it ? Did you also need to get a crush washer ?

Thanks
Oz

There are several individuals here at CL who have installed the Fumoto brand valve over the years. You can search for those threads. Looks like the one you listed is Fumoto.

Personally, I do not believe they save much time nor do they make much less a mess when compared to just removing the oil plug.

i thought about it, but it's a waste for this car.

The filter's still at the bottle so I still have to crawl down there. Also the valve drains much slower...so it's actually quicker to just leave the oem drain plug as is.


As for my 4runner, i have a fumoto valve since the oil filter is at the top. I don't need to lift the car up to drain the oil. Actually i don't need any tools to change oil on that car.
