Ford engineers have sick sense of humor. Oil change

[Zeusmotorworks]

Digging the Fumoto... now just have to find or make a oil filter relocation kit. Anyone know of one for this engine?

For all you guys using the Fumoto valve, which model are you using? I see 4 different models on their website.

I have the F107SX but I’m switching to the F137N. The latter has a longer nipple to attach a hose.

No drain pan - the oil goes right into an empty container for recycling.

I had a fumoto on my Jeep. My oldest son is an actual pro mechanic laughed at me and said he gets to repair/replace those all the time.

But I'm tired of dropping the entire plate for oil changes, even considered allowing the pimply kid at the local lube-joint touch it.

I think I'll eat my pride and put a valve in, I'm due another change.

I have one fumoto valve in bag and looked it over again . I ordered new cutoff wheel to notch skid plate . I will take pic before and after the cut. Side note really liking this Motul xcess oil . Hot idle in drive bumped oil pressure by 2 psi . Would avg 29 psi before. Ran it hard on interstate v8 titan wanted to play . I freight trained to him 115mph . oil never got above 200 deg.

Changed the oil 4 times on my truck and have always used the same clips without stripping either the bolts or clips (hand start first, then use a clicker wrench or impact). Not sure what you mean by non-reusable.

This is a plug that we manufacture. BMW North America is looking to implement this once the car comes in from the port. It's getting such high praises, BMW Germany is looking to add this drain plug from the factory.

Little antiseize and have reused originals every 5k. At 41k now and going strong.

just now came across this, live in FL so have temps close to yours, my oil generally goes between 190-205, and my oil pressure generally idles around 22psi once warmed up.
Factory motorcraft oil and amsoil same-ish result. Wonder why theres a diff

That’s real sexy!

I think the Fumoto is an easier solution for the DIY weekend warrior. I slip a length of hose over the nipple and open the valve. IMO the ball valve has more integrity than the spring loaded valve.

I noticed the weep of oil around the valve on that Raptor.
