    So I have been reading extensively on these ! My truck is a 2017 T.Tacoma 3.6 V6 4X4
    Now I would love to know which one to get,based on the experiences of others who have this already. Best price would also be appreciated. Thank you.

    I installed one on the wife's car last oil change. I'll be installing the one with nipple on my truck in the next oil change.

    I dunno... I see these and I think "man, that's so cool!" ... but then I start to get all nervous about it coming undone and spewing out all my oil.

    Like if I get a skidplate soon that would be super convenient, but then again I would possibly have to take it off anyways because of the bizarre location of the 2.7's oil filter.

    Then again those stupid paper layered drain gaskets are a pain in my nuts! I just can't make up my mind!:rofl:

    I got both the
    $32 Fumoto F103 FUMOTO F-103 Engine Oil Drain Valve
    Fumoto F103 and the EZ Valve 103. I kept the EZ for the Taco and put the Fumoto on the Lexus. The EZ has a larger inside diameter so it drains quicker. It also has a recessed o-ring although I have not had any oil leak issues with either one. Going on three years with both. I don't recommend these valves for sedans. On ours the valve hangs low and can get torn off if you hit something down the middle. Not a problem on the Taco as the valve is protected with part of the chassis.

    I don't know about that :anonymous:

    I've been changing my own oil for decades and I've never owned one. Changing oil is as simple as it gets...

    This would be probably the only way to go.

    Make sure it's protected behind the skid for off-roading :thumbsup:

    Of course this doesn't apply to the street only rigs. Not many road hazards in the mall other than climbing the parking islands :anonymous:

    It is well above the front cross member so not much worry of it getting knocked off.
