4th gen Oil Change

I did my first oil change at 1000 miles yesterday and had the same experience(using the same catch pan)..... made an absolute mess.... lol. It was so bad I removed the front passenger wheel in order to do a thorough clean up.

 

Fumoto

 

Ah yes, and there seems to be no concern with it hanging low on the 4th gen. Thanks for the reminder. I'll do add one at 5k.

The F133N seems to be the desired one:

Yep. Sounds about right.

 

Go Fumoto, you won't regret it...

 

The oil change on my 4G Tacoma was the easiest, least-messy oil change in my life across many different vehicles. I ordered a Fumoto valve and ended up returning it because the oil change was so incredibly hassle-free that I see no need for it in this application.

I used a deep catch pan. Didn't spill a drop and no splashing out of the pan:

Hmm, same price as Fumoto valve and will save the mess on the next oil change. I have saved this item in my Amazon cart and will ponder on this..... I have a little time.

 

This is the one I installed. It isn't exposed at all:

$42 F103SX: New Generation Fumoto® Valve with 12mm-1.25 Thread Size

I use this one, the drain tube makes sure the oil goes exactly where you want it...no mess, no fuss.

 

Interesting, I have not seen the swivel one. Honestly, I like the idea of being able to attach a hose so I'm a little more interested in the

$40 F133N with LC-10 F-Series Large Body FUMOTO® Valve with Long Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for M12-1.25

F133N.

 

The SX has a hose that snaps on

 

The Fumoto hose attaches to mine just fine.
