Decided to remove my FUMOTO Valve this week

[goblues38]

went to change my oil on my truck and when I opened the valve.......it hardly flowed any oil out.

The truck was cold, so I know that did not help. I guess I just didn't want to sit around for 45 minutes and wait for that thing to drain.

Aren't you suppose to let Gen 2's sit overnight and drain, oh wait, that might be to change the oil pan.

Interesting! I've been using a Fumoto Valve on my '19 for the last 4 changes and it works very well.

Usually change when the Oil is warm not hot. Set everything up, turn on the valve and let it drain while I change the filter. By the time I change the filter, the oil is all drained and I button everything up.

Works great for me with absolutely no mess!

That is why you are supposed to get the engine warm before changing the oil.

I can't remember the last time I did a cold oil change. I would have thought synthetic oil would flow pretty easily through the valve, even when cold.

could not agree more

Maybe he was using royal purple?

Cold is your enemy with the Fumoto. That said.... the engineer that designed the oil filter placement needs to be drawn and quartered. Seriously why?!?!?

I wonder if loosening the oil fill cap would help any. Maybe not, just a thought.
