fumoto valve

[Clip]

got my fumoto valve in the mail yesterday, looks of the highest quality. can't wait to install it this week with some german castrol! i'm hoping this will cure my drip and prevent me from ever stripping the oil pan hole.

original thread, thanks jetjock/jdub, i should've gotten one of these sooner

Tip: Make sure it's closed before you refill with oil.

Pouring 4 quarts of german castol on the ground is no fun.

^ LMAO don't need a special valve for that

Gonna have you doing oil analysis before it's over Clip

Funny this thread popped up. I supposedly had one delivered on monday..... yeah, I don't have it. Damn usps...... Guess I'll just buy another one.


Just venting.

anyone use one with the nipple or would that hand down too low?

 

[CTsupra]

I just ordered another one with the nipple. This time ups is shipping it and asking for a signature, lol. Anyway, if something hits this thing with enough force to rip it off, the oil pan is going as well. Don't worry about it.

I've got those on all my cars now. Got the ones with the nipple so that I can run a hose straight into my drain tank for zero mess.

If your present plug is dripping, your flange probably has a dent in it from some jiffy-lube monkey over-torquing the drain bolt. There is a cutout in the internal backing plate around the drain and overtorquing the bolt will deform the pan metal into the cutout.

great so theres plenty of room for the nipple

I was going to order one a while back but forgot.

I'll get on it now. Thanks for the reminder.

Remember, it's F-104. (N) designates the nipple.

you must have your filter relocated. mine's in the stock location, and i gotta expect to have a drenched arm upon uninstallation

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Yes I do.

Nope, just some thinking involved. :biglaugh:

Nah I meant you don't need a special valve to forget to close it and pour the fresh Oil straight through the motor onto the ground

I've had one of these on my truck since I bought it. (2.5yrs ago?). I love it.

Nice to see more converts to a good product. Fwiw I've had the same one on my engine since 1990.
