It's really well made, haven't installed it yet though I still have 20% oil life left

I received an updated email from Fumoto yesterday. See below.

Here's the latest from the Fumoto engineers in Japan -

The final design for the yellow plug replacement valve is scheduled to be complete by mid-September.
Next steps:

• Make die for the new valve.
• Round of testing.
• Production!

still fingers crossed for a fumoto. the ronin one is a pita to get to with skid plates in the way.

i have the ronin and the outer cap was stuck on and i ended up taking it all out like my plastic yellow one.. they should have made the 2 pieces have opposing threads, instead of both turning counter clockwise to unscrew. threading in the drain piece is some work too.
