Fumoto Drain on IS 350?
I always like running a Fumoto Drain Valve on my cars. I have them on my SUV's and just installed one today on my IS today with a fresh oil change. Problem is, it sticks 1/2" below skid plate. Makes me nervous...
Anybody else running a Fumoto valve? |
I am. Of course just installed it a few days ago. Honestly I'm not worried

Maybe two oil changes a year for me here. I don't find the additional time saved is worth the money and possibility of hitting something and breaking the valve worth it to me. I'm also lowered 2.5" from factory though.

Are you lowered? That's the only way I'd worry.

Which one did you get? They make them without a nipple(F-103),and with a short and long nipple. I have one with a long nipple on my 4Runner and love it but it's above the skid plates and wan't to put one on my new IS350 but I would be leary if it was sticking out on a car this low.
It does stick down, but ever so slightly. You have to almost look for it. I do agree it make the oil change longer, but without messing with drain bolts, it's worth it to me. I just do other checks while it's draining, air filter, throttle body, radiator and brake fluids... |
