Fumoto Original F106S with LC-10 Lever Clip FS-Series Engine Oil Drain Valve, 1 Pack Golden

Update 11/2020:Did my oil change and boy was it easy! No more mess and guess work with that oil drain plug and how much thread is left before it POPS off! Clean, easy to use. I did use the hose connector and that made it even easier. The plastic clip that prevents the latch from sliding did not break over a 6 month time frame (snow driving as well). Things did not leak yet, and everything is good so far. As always, will update if things change. With my one use so far, I definitely recommend this for the DYI oil changers out there. I'll easily buy this for all my cars going forward (already did for my 2019 WRX as well - that one uses F108s).Original Review 5/2020:Easy install, just add washer it comes with and tighten (I would hand tighten, then use a 17mm bolt to tighten just a little more - quarter turn). Done. No more splashing of oil when you unscrew the oil drain plug... A dream for those who change oil themselves.No leaks from it, just needed to make sure the valve is locked. The plastic stopper is a nice touch to help with accidental opening, but highly doubt it will accidentally open since it "locks" into place when you turn it to close. Will be keeping my eyes out to see if there are any issues later down the road. But so far, well worth the money.I did purchase the hose and connector for this valve, but since I just did my oil change and now have this installed, I'll update months later when I change oil again to see how effective that is. But it does fit just fine, tested before installing the valve to the car.If anything changes I'll update this review!

I've used Fumoto valves for years, and love them. REALLY well made, never even a hint of a leak, and make oil changes a breeze. I recently bought a 2019 Kia Soul and this valve is going in at the next oil change.Buy the genuine part, don't get a knock off. Thee cost a bit more, but quality is better than price most times.

Makes oil changes a breeze! Perfect fit for my 23 Challenger Scatpack.

Threads on an oil pan aren't made to withstand the many many times the oil drain plug is removed and tightened. The threat of stripped threads is compounded when, in the course of ownership, the car had been brought to the local oil change boutique for oil changes, and the neighborhood high school kid on the weightlifting team has a part-time job doing oil changes there. Sure, you can get an oversized plug when the threads strip, or get one of those expandable rubber plugs for a temporary fix- OR, you can get a FUMOTO valve, install it once, and be done with it. Obviously, it take the place of the oil drain plug, but can also double as a "sampling" valve; or sometimes, when too much oil is added during an oil change for one reason or another, the valve can be opened and any extra oil can easily be removed. Even though I do my own oil changes, I have one on each car I own. No matter how careful one may be, and I'm careful, there's always the good chance that that oil drain plug will someday strip the threads in the oil pan. For me, I'ld rather install a $30 FUMOTO valve BEFORE I hear myself say the ole, shoulda - coulda - woulda.

Purchased this for GFs Kia Soul to control drain and prevent oil splatter. I've had one of these on my WRX for years for the same reason and have been very happy. Absolutely no issues with accidental oil drain. I understand the apprehension some have regarding this type of fitting but I recommend for the right situation. Do NOT install if you're even thinking about going off road.

I have always changed my own oil ever since my first car bought back in 1962. These days, you need a PhD to fix cars but I still enjoy doing oil changes since I know it's done right. One of the worst jobs in the process is getting splashed with oil when removing the drain plug. Even with rubber gloves, it sometimes runs down your arm and almost always drips on the driveway. I installed a Fumoto on both my wife's 2016 Civic and my 2019 Subaru Forester. Installation was 1-2-3. I used the supplied washer and made sure I didn't over tighten as the instructions warned. Also, I made sure I tightened the valve on the body section. They suggested hand tight and then another 1/4th (I think) turn. It worked out well since there were no drips after adding the new oil. I will have to wait for many miles to pass before I'm able to check the drain function. I also ordered the plastic nipple and tubing so there will be zero chance of spilling even .0001 drops of oil when the oil is next changed. This is a life-of-the-car installation so each and every oil change will take just minutes with no fuss nor mess. Highly recommended to all you DIY'ers out there.

Installed on my 2019 Ram 2500 6.4 L Hemi. Fitment is fine, easy to install, no more messy oil changes. Short nipple is short. I’d get the long nipple version if I were to buy again.Fumoto has a hose kit with little plastic adapters that snap onto the short nipple...I chose to take my chances and just get generic vinyl tubing . It fits, and it stays on the short nipple, but just barely. I chose to hold it on during the majority of the oil draining. If lightly bumped I’m sure it would come off. If you have the room, get the regular/long nipple so you don’t have to worry about the hose coming off. I have a nice big skid plate, so I will probably switch to the long nipple version for convenience after the next oil change.

This is my 2nd Fumoto , makes oil changes a breeze.
