    i don't have the fumoto valve, but i do have the relentless IFS skid, if you measure how far the valve sticks down and how wide it roughly is. i will measure for clearance for you.

    i'm running the ATO skid and have plenty of room before my fumoto w/ the nipple. i would think most would be the same. cant really get any higher up than most go.

    And there is enough room to manipulate the valve tab with your hand in there?

    Ok I measured, and I got 2.20" height from the skid-plate to the oilpan, and 2.45" on the skid-plate oil drain hole. I would assume by the measurements, there's plenty of room for the valve.

    subb'ed. any trouble accessing the lever with the Relentless IFS skid? I have the skid currently and am eyeing this valve. Seems bombproof and seems to make oil changes a breeze! Just wondering how hard it is to get a finger or a tool up there to access the lever. Any more pics of it installed? Also anyone using the nipple version with the skid, and if so, does the tip protrude past the opening? Debating nipple vs. no-nipple

    Just installed the Fumoto without nipple with my Relentless IFS skid. Ended up taking the skid off to tighten the Fumoto with a crescent wrench. Works like a charm! Hopefully won't have to touch the valve again for 10K since I just did a full Mobil 1 synthetic oil change, but the oil drain hole in the skid allows plenty of room to access the switch, and the non-nipple version sits about 1-1.5" above the skid plate so no need to worry about it getting hit/snagged while wheeling. For some reason Amazon at the nippled version at 4" which turned me off from the 103N. Pics soon!
