Fumoto oil valve

10-4. ez question, ez answer. sometimes that is hard to get on here

 

Installed it a month or so ago & I'm gonna like it. I have a mall crawler though.

 

I want one for my truck,but I simply cannot get myself too buy one,trusting a $20 valve too stay closed on $40,000 truck is just not me.

 

I went 8 years with one on my old 3.4L with no leaks. My prerunner doesn’t have a skid plate for the oil pan so I’ll skip one for the 4.0L.

 

That's what I have now a 2015 Prerunner,and a 2017 Pro.

 

Have had no issues with mine at all. Been on for about 2 years now.

 

I'm guessing someone is far more likely to get into a collision than have one of these valves fail. That said I just get a kind of satisfaction seeing the oil drain out of my pan with the force of an uninhibited drain lol

 

I have used the fumoto valves for years on different vehicles with no problems. Recently went with a EZdrain valve because it has a faster flow.

 

If you have a skid plate, this is the way to go.

If you plan on keeping your truck for 500k or more you are protecting the threads in the pan. Every time you tighten the drain plug down a little bit of metal gets scraped off the threads. Not a lot, but over time (20-30-40 oil changes) you're saving threads, time and knuckle skin.

I love mine! No drips, no mess, works perfectly. I've basically forgotten about it

 

Lord Bless'm lol

 

I’ve only had mine for about 50,000 worry free miles. I put a small zip tie around it locking the lever in place just in case something were to grab it.

 

Mine came with a little plastic piece that locks it into place to prevent it from opening accidentally.

 

Added a zip tie the last time I had my skid off, the small one fits in the groove and the valve will not open unless I cut it off.

 

That's a great idea. I have these on two of my vehicles and will add a zip tie next time they need an oil change.

 

did you guys see the little plastic clip that fumoto sells? They work pretty good

 

I did but Amazon wanted like $4 for the clip and another $4 to ship it. If I could get them shipped free with Prime I would go that route. I've gotten spoiled. I hate paying for shipping.

 

I've had a couple with a metal retaining ring that came with the fumoto plug.

 

If you order from Amazon, they don’t come with the clips. At lease not the

$33 F-103 with LC-10 Included F-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack

F-103.

 

True that. Mine was just delivered the other day and no clip.
