Fumoto Valve for Oil Drain Pan

[bobbyboogie]

I won't be using the Fomoto valve on my civic. I have one on my other car and I don't like how slow the oil drains.

Just saw a post that said we don't need an adapter for the Fumoto valve, but site says otherwise. Can someone please confirm?

No adapter needed. My set up is the f106s. I have the plastic socket pressed and clamped into a clear tube and when I need to do an oil change just press the tube onto the nipple of the valve, put the tube into the hole of the oil container and let it drain.

For the people who don't use it because it takes a long time..how fast do you want our oil to drain? It doesn't take much more time, and in the time that it drains you can check on other things such as your fluid..or heck..go in the car and reset your oil life %. Wouldn't you want all the bad stuff in your oil to be settled on the bottom of your oil pan anyway?

Which one do you think is better F106S or the F106SX.

Do you happen to have a picture of it fitted as well?

I don't have any pics at the moment but I stand by the S with their nipple attachment. I dont even have to take off the tray anymore. I just slip the hose on with the nipple attatched and flip the valve open. The SX may not allow that

I have the generic one, EZ-106. I have only done a oil change on the car, so I can't talk about flow rate, but it hasn't leaked any and was easy to install.

Hate to rain on everyone's picnic BUT, a RAPID oil drain immediately after shut off is probably desirable, to get as much of the bad stuff out as possible.

Is the oil then hot enough to melt plastic oil collections container? Should a metal one be had instead?

Looking at trying the F106SX and a 3/8" ID x 2' Vinyl Hose. Does the hose have to be heat resistant. Thinking it be best to open the valve when the engine is hot. Would that melt the hose and potentially the plastic oil catch container?

The oil isn't hot enough to melt plastic tubing or the catch container.

No aftermarket parts are needed, but we do them anyway. I got tired of getting hot oil on my hands when doing changes. Guess what? With one installed, no more hot oil on my hands or splashing out while draining.

If you are getting oil on your hands and or splashing from the plug you are doing it wrong lmao. The filter yeah, maybe, but def not from the plug smh lolol

And sure, if you don't care to be any faster, then no, aftermarket parts wouldn't be needed, kinda an odd comparison but ok lmao

Only so much space on a garage floor and I don't want to have a mess to clean.

Why are you against people using a tool that makes the job easier? Do you do everything without anything that makes it easier or more efficient?

Why is it an odd comparison? Do you not have a single mod on your car that doesn't increase hp?
