Decided to remove my FUMOTO Valve this week

[K223]

I stopped using Fumoto valves a few trucks ago for the same reason. I do my oil changes on a lift and the valve slowed down the drain process. I appreciated having the valve when I used to have to lay on my back in the driveway to change my oil.

If you have a lift and a full shop size oil catch, then the Fumoto would be a lot slower. It’s for driveway guys sliding underneath for sure. Works for me very well even with the tube attached. Warm it fills a jug pretty quick.

I agree. Having the oil blast out of the pan is faster and better for getting more of the ***** out.

A driveway oil change is such a pain in the nuts without a Fumoto. I usually give the truck a good run to heat the oil and it’s not that bad of a flow.

The issue is where it is located. It's a bitch to get to. I put nutserts in my ADD bumper's skid plate for easy removal, once that is off getting to the oil filter is simple. A top mount filter would have been much easier though.

I can deal with where it’s positioned it’s the way it runs down into the skid plate that ****** me off.

I thought the Fumoto valve only worked for the 17/18’s since we with 19/20’s have a metal drain bolt and pan...

Fumoto valves work fantastically when you put a tube on it and direct the oil right into your disposal container... not having to use a pan at all. HOWEVER, got to watch that filter!
