Fumoto Drain Valve

Hi Folks, I am considering a Fumoto drain valve for my oil. which one is the best for a 4 cyl 2.7?

 

@LivinLoud

 

This is the one I have.

F103S it has a short nipple for a hose.

you won't be disappointed...I bought one like 5 oil changes ago...LOVE IT!!!
You need to wait a little longer for it to drain out...Like 15-20 min but that's nothing. I went with the Fumoto-F-103-LC-10. It doesn't have a clip on spot for a hose (not needed as the tacoma drains right down) but get the clip for piece of mind. It stays secure and ensures the valve doesn't open by accident...WHICH WILL NOT HAPPEN...it's spring loaded and tough to open.

 

Be sure to compare the mechanism to the
Stahlbus Oil Drain Valve Plug M12x1.25x12mm

 

I installed the F103S and love it. Fumoto valves definitely have their critics on TW, but most also seem to think people install them because loosening a bolt is too much work, or criticizing because it is "vulnerable" to sheering off. I don't think most people install them because a single bolt is too much work, and as far as vulnerability to sheer...I'm still waiting for a thread titled "Dont buy this product because of what happened to me!" and haven't seen one, and that's saying something considering some of the inane threads that have existed during the life of TW. Buy a Fumoto; if you like the idea, you'll love the product.

 

I don't want to use one, but I rented a place with a spotless garage. No need to fuck up my deposit. I ordered this:

I'll give it a shot and install it this weekend.

 

There is a new version out that allows for faster drains , I just recently got that one for my 4.0 motor .

 

me for example I live in a apartment right now and don’t have a garage so I have to do my oil changes laying on the ground/street so anything that gets me done quicker and easier I’m all for

 

I have a fumoto but havent installed it yet. I bought it mainly because I purchased an RCI Skid and felt it would make oil changes easier. Guess we will find out!

 

What is the part # for the new valve? Can't find it on their website.

 

F133 for the 4.0 engine. Not sure if it's the same for the 2.7. I did a comparison vid showing it vs. the older F103.

 

Getting one of these will surely reduce the amount of "Accidently drained transmission fluid" threads.

F133S is the updated version (allows for more flow, I haven’t drained my oil yet to actually see the flow)

This is the “short nipple” version also I forgot to add that

 

Just used mine yesterday. One of the better mods I have done in order to make sure I don't make a mess. Highly reccomend.

 

Exactly why I installed one in the first place. Same exact situation.

that’s the short nipple version

 

I would get the Femco instead of a Fumoto. More money but doesn't protrude down near as far.
