    If you have a straight shot, get one without the nipple. Less hanging down the better. I have the 'S' version but have never needed to attach the tube. Just flip the lever and let 'er go.

    Have been using these for 10 years now and never had a problem. The won't come open by accident and one you have one you see why. The clip is reduntant and for those who have yet to open one of these valves.

    I like the fact oil change monkeys can't screw up the threads on my pan.

    So does this swivel after installed and torqued,or does it simply allow you to turn it to where you want it to point,before you tighten to torque? I am referring to this one

    Had one on my FJ for several years. I put a small band clamp on it for piece of mind (before the clip was available) so I needed a screwdriver to take it off when it came time to change oil. Only thing I didn't like was the oil would take a bit longer to drain and seemed to drip forever as the opening was reduced.

    I have a Fumoto valve on my 09 Prerunner, one of the first mods I did to my truck. If you plan on changing your oil than its the way to go. I got mine off of Amazon.

    One factor that would be a positive is that I could change the oil hot and not concerned as much as if changing with a plug.

    Did the first oil change on my PRO today. What a f*cking mess. The oil came out at warp speed from the drain hole and splashed everywhere.

    Fumoto valve ordered. Went with the N version since I have the skid plate and don't have to worry about the nipple hanging down. Ordered directly from Fumoto.

    I'll have to deal with the mess again next oil change, but will be home free after that. Sheesh.

    Given that my truck is 2 weeks old and I haven't had to do an oil change yet (or even gotten under the truck), how safe are the valves for off-roading? I'd love to get one, I just want to make sure it won't get knocked off while I'm wheeling. (noob question, I know)

    I installed mine last weekend. It should be a lot cleaner now. My RCI skid plate is off in the picture but with it on nothing protrudes below the skid plate.

    How close to the skid is the valve? I was thinking if it might work so I don't have to drop the skid to change oil

    It's close. I think I will be about to attach a hose to the nipple and open the valve without dropping the plate. I haven't tried to open the valve yet but it feels like I will have no problems now.

    I never knew this type of thing existed. I'm assuming the install is straight forward/ replaces your drain plug?

    Don't these trucks have magnetic plugs to collect debris?
