Yes but finding the proper depth of the tube is essential. For some reason the raptor is tricky getting the oil out with an extractor. It can be done as I’ve done it successfully twice now. Take the dipstick out and measure it against the tube and mark it so you know how far to go in. It’s easy to go too far and get nothing but air.

I did my second oil change yesterday and installed a fumoto F107N. I couldn’t get the valve to be in the upright position, I tried threading it in at many different positions. As it sits it’s at a 45deg angle to upside down. I did leave the gasket on. Thoughts?

This is why they came out with SX series. As you can adjust the spout to any position you wish.

Is it compatible with the 18’s with plastic oil pans as well?

Fumoto is sending me a few more gaskets, hopefully adding one more will get the valve to sit upright. They did say that the position of the valve won’t affect anything. Great customer service.

I like to have my valve pointing down in that I want gravity to help push out the oil as quickly as possible. If having the valve pointing down increases flow by 10% then I am all in for the SX series.

BTW ... I have the SX in 2 diff cars now and have one in route for my 2019.

Does anyone know if they make an oil filter relocation kit for the gen 2's?

Amsoil might. They’re big $$$ though.
