Fumoto car/truck oil drain plug valve

Anyone using these?   If not, I highly recommend.  I can change my oil with no tools in just a few minutes.  Less messy too.

Had them on two different vehicles. Love them

Have been using one on my Duramax for years now. I have the one with the hose nipple. Makes changing oil much easier and cleaner.

Is that the system that is valve you turn and then fan direct if with the hose?  I heard they got a mechanism on them to lock it incase you drive over something it can’t open.  But does that really work 100%?

Basically it’s a threaded valve that replaces your oil drain plug.   It has a lever to open and close the valve and some have a nipple to put a small hose on.  On both my cars I have the nipple version but no longer use a hose on them as they have a clear shot to drain right into an oil pan.  They do have a plastic clip that locks the valve lever closed but the valve lever is spring loaded and springs back into a notch so they cant easily open on their own.

I have been using one for years now on my tundra. Wish I went to one a long time ago. Game changer if you change your own oil. My Toyota also has a filter bowl the filter element sits in. I purchased a drain hose tool/kit to drain the bowl as well. Very easy job with the right tools.
