Fumoto Valve F103N DEAD DEAL

subb'ed because I need one.

 

Can't say I need any nipples under my truck, already got a damn pink pulley. But if the price is right then I've got to pay to play.

 

I got the EZ-103 with removable hose adapter on Amazon. I don't remember why I went with EZ instead of the Fumoto brand, but I got it from Amazon...I think it was because it came with removable hose option, so there wasn't a longer snout. I haven't used it because dealer had been changing my oil with the free service they had, but it expired...gonna do it next week my oil change. (But it's been on for a year now....no issues...I'm sure the tech's like since they don't have to remove bolts and no leak issues)

Hope this post is to contribute not to distract from the group buy. There's a metal spring clip for you off roaders. I was paranoid to get one, but didn't get one since Amazon wasn't selling it at the time. Seems fine for me for street use not to have it.

I used to have a stahlbus oil drain valve on one of my old vehicles. It's about twice as expensive, but works very well.

Edit: it could have been one of these too. Similar to the design above, slightly less expensive, but still more than the Fumoto.

 

@Unchained 5150 do we hope to hear back today?

 

Yup I hope so

 

interested in getting two after final pricing/shipping/accessories is out.

just not sure which one yet. have an 03 dblcab and a 15 access cab.

 

Fumoto has a rubber nipple that goes over and blocks the end of the outlet from mud, dust, etc.

Anyone concerned about mud getting in there just needs to keep that part covered. The product is there if you want to buy it.

 

My 103N isn't coming down far enough that I would worry about it. If your off-roading style is wham, bam, thank you ma'am then consider that might not be the best thing to add to your rig.

But if you're not scraping your oil pan on rocks on a regular basis now, and don't plan on doing so later - you'll be fine. I wouldn't overthink it too much if you aren't a rock crawler, and I'd venture to say few rock crawlers would want this product for several reasons. Most of you are like me - DD and weekend light/moderate wheeling who want extra convenience. The Fumoto is for that person.

Manufacturer says they don't recommend it because of liability, just like every other product ever made.

 

I have the F-103N (has the nipple). I don't serious off road and it stays above the skid plate so I'm not worried about it being damaged. The nipple is super handy if you want to put your oil directly into a milk gallon jug with no mess. I'm sure the one without the nipple is awesome too. But being able to attach tubing to the nipple was what I wanted.

 

You wrote this 4 minutes before me and it's exactly what I was thinking. For normal non serious off-roading people like me it's perfect.

 

There was also a post I found before I bought mine, and the guy had a Fumoto 103N and was wheeling and unfortunately slammed his oil pan on an obstacle.

The Fumoto was fine, and it crushed the bottom of his oil pan which was hammered back out. So, for the accidents that may happen - the Fumoto is stronger than you think.

Would recommend it.

 

Well the guy said the best he can is a 10% off Coupon code and no free shipping with a Free LC-10 cover. Not really worth it to me, I asked what happened to those quoted prices you sent me? Oh I made a mistake we can't do it for that. So to me just buy it off Ebay for 26.88 shipped for free. Sorry guys we can't win them all unless you want the measly 10% off Coupon Code
