Default Fumoto Oil Valve

The fumoto oil valve. It's a quick release drain valve replacement part for the drain bolt at the bottom of your oil pan.

Any one used one of these?
Have an opinion or feedback?

I'm looking to place my order today so my future oil changes will be a whole lot easier.

check out http://www.fumotovalve.com/ for details.

"Drive carefully at all times, and if you run over any foreign object on the road pull over and check the valve for any damage or leak.
N-Series valve (with nipple to accept hose) is not recommended for passenger cars with low clearance. "


what? I don't want to do this? open the bolt is easy, save me 22 bux =)

I bought one of these back in 1990 on a BMW 325I. It works great but, it does not come with that elastic tube you see in the picture. The only problem maybe is a mechanic taking it off the wrong way who, is not familiar with your car. As for foreign objects, I never had a problem.
