Re: Fumoto oil drain valve Reply #25 – June 09, 2021, 11:36:32 pm Quote from: JohnFitz – May 10, 2021, 06:12:23 pmI have the Fumoto. I like how I can directly drain into a gallon jug, shut it off, and switch out to the next jug. No transferring from a large pan into jugs.I envisioned this when I bought the Fumoto valve. Until I realized my new jugs won't be empty until the new oil is in the system.... I never have enough empty jugs lying around. Oh well, it's still easier Quote Selected

Re: Fumoto oil drain valve Reply #27 – June 10, 2021, 04:48:51 pm I have used this for years and really like it. After use, wipe it down and hang it in my shop.Amazon.com: ATD Tools 5183 Heavy Duty Drain Tub - 30 Quart Capacity: AutomotiveI like it because I change all my cars oil based on time not mileage(we don't roll up much mileage) and I can do all three cars into the pan and just do one clean up.

KeithYou might actually be better off with the standard drain plug that you have rather than the compact. I chose the compact because I have a frame member near the plug that creates a space limitation. My issue with the compact is that, due to the shorter threads, it makes it a little challenging to attach the drain hose without depressing the internal valve and leaking a little oil. I suspect the standard version won't have that issue. Also, give yourself plenty of time for an oil change....it drains very slowly compared to the OEM plug. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Fumoto oil drain valve Reply #33 – September 13, 2021, 10:58:16 pm I have the compact model and have no issues with the oil leaking while I screw the drain adaptor in. Put the bucket under the pan, screw the adaptor in and all the oil stays inside the plastic tube. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Fumoto oil drain valve Reply #35 – September 14, 2021, 09:45:08 pm Had compact model for many years, and it works just fine. Not sure what problem some have with compact. We also have spare compact drain hose because if we misplace the hose, draining would be a problem. Quote Selected
