Fumoto Valve

[dl537]

Any suggestions on which Fumoto Vlave to get? I have a choice of the standard or with nipple. I have made a mess changing my oil for the last time. I hope these valves are all they are cracked up to be.

Nipple.

Order 'with' the nipple. 3/8" hose fits the nipple to dump into jugs/whatever.

I bought the one with the nipple. This allows me to put a short piece of tubing on the valve to direct the oil into a pan or bucket. Also, someone posted earlier that you can use a 1/8 inch NPT die and put a pipe thread on the nipple. This would allow one to place a 1/8 inch pipe cap over the nipple. This is a safeguard, if you have a fear of the valve accidently opening.

Definitely nipple.

Does this thing basically screw in, replacing the factory oil drain plug?

If so, what's the thread size/pitch? I assume metric?

I sure made a mess on my first oil change because most of the oil went down the off-road skid plate and missed the pan completely

I wish they had one w/ 2-nipples. :D :D
To drain into 2 containers, I mean.

Would they be pointier if it's cold out....So as the oil will clear any snow jammed in the skid plates. :eek:

Leave it to a South Tejas guy to start w/ the sexual inuendos.... :D :D :D

As for 'safeguarding the Fumoto'. I have no idea why. 1 in a billion chance of that thing opening on grass, rocks, etc.
