Quick Oil Change

[wizard of ahs]

I HAVE USED DRAIN VALVES ON MY SUMPS FOR YEARS .
NOT A NEW IDEA , THEY HAD THEM 100 YEARS AGO ON FORD MODEL Ts !

YOU HAVE TO LIFT THE LEVER BEFORE YOU CAN TURN IT .
I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THESE .

I too have used them for years..............Fumoto Valve

I've also used the the Fumoto valve on my cars for over 20 years, but use the model with the extension on it that allows you to connect a small hose on it during the oil change to make your oil draining a no mess affair.

Fram Sure Drain... I have three vehicles equipped with them; a 1992 Miata, a 2006 Toyota Matrix and a 2007 Honda Fit. Installed to the torque spec on the package, and never a problem. I have used the Fumoto valves in the past; the Fram system looked to be less susceptible to road damage. Sorry for your problems with it Ian.
