I would highly recommend this product to anyone who does their own oil changes. I loved the one on my old car so much, I bought this one for my new car. I'm just waiting for the next oil change to install it.
Pros:
- Heavy Duty - Not steel, but very sturdy.
- Great quality - Lasted me over 200,000 miles and was still going strong. Have one with over 120,000 on my wife's car, no issues.
- Convenient - Never needed the right sized wrench to change my oil.
- No Mess - Putting a hose on the end made it easy to direct the oil into the oil catch container.
Cons:
- I sometimes would move the release lever the wrong way, up or down, because I couldn't see which way the lever should go because of how it was tightened on my car. Learned not to force it and try to move it a different way.
Update ***11/20/2018***
Last week when I changed my oil I noticed my Fumoto valve was leaking slightly, about a cup of oil over an oil change. This is the first time anything like this has happened and this is the 4th Fumoto valve I have owned in over 10 years. So, I sent the Fumoto Online Help Center an e-mail via their website asking the procedure I had to go through for a warranty claim. I received a prompt reply from Fumoto employee Andrew asking me for some information about my order so that he could send out the correct Fumoto valve for a replacement. I merely e-mailed Andrew a copy of my Amazon receipt and he mailed out a replacement valve the next day. That was it. It couldn't have been easier.
Even though one of my valves leaked, I am a satisfied customer. Customer service was top notch and painless. If I ever need a Fumoto valve on my next car, I will be sure and install one on that car too.
All positive. Since I had to pull the drain plug out anyway to replace the crush washer, why not install this instead. Future oil changes will be so much neater by attaching a short piece of 3/8 inch I.D. vinyl tubing, and turning the valve. This will release the hot oil into an empty 5 qt. oil container-easy. Shut the valve, change the oil filter, add new oil - BAM!!!!! You're done.
The picture on Amazon shows the valve in the open position. When closed, the valve handle would swing to the left and will spring load into the detent preventing any accidental opening. Read options. If you are offroading you can use a spring type hose clamp to secure lever so it cannot be bumped out of it's locked position. I didn't need it on my street automobile - It's very secure.
Install is very easy. Use the already installed blue gasket. Remove old drain plug and washer or gasket. Screw in new valve. I used a 6 inch adjustable open end wrench on the flat side of the valve body and placed my hand near the valve as I carefully tightened. Remember, this is a brass valve body - not steel. Tight but not over tight. Be careful if you use a longer wrench. I used the side of the valve and not the nut by the tubing nipple to apply a snug torque - more surface. The valve easily snugs up to compress the blue gasket for a leak free install. The lever may end up in any position and work perfectly.
Mine was a little more difficult because I had a leaking drain plug with a fresh synthetic oil change. Cautiously, I unscrewed stock drain plug with right hand, plugged hole and oil with left index finger. Brought new valve up and aligned as best I could, splash, screw 'til finger tight, no more squirting oil !!!!!!!! Clean up with rag and finish tightening with small adjustable wrench. Perfect.
Quality product (read description). Amazon product and shipping, excellent. Hope this helps. Oil changes are not that hard, but this will make it easier with a lot less mess. God Bless.
To drain the oil, I just run the front tires up onto ramps and block the rear wheels. Then I slip one end of a short length of flexible tubing over the valve's nipple and the other end into an empty 5 quart oil container and open the valve. ln a minute or two, after the oil has completely drained, I shut the valve and remove the tubing. All that's left is to remove and replace the oil filter.
Now if only someone could figure out how to make removing an oil filter as clean and easy a process as draining the oil is with one of these valves,

If only there were cleaner methods of changing oil filters that mount at angles off of vertical...
I have to do an oil change later this summer away from home without all my tools so I figured this would help make the job possible.
Valve looks to be solidly built and should work for the long haul.
