I'm a fan of the fumoto drain valve and I was considering putting one on my cherokee. Anybody have any comments pro or con on the matter ?

 

First I've heard of it, but looking at the video it doesn't look like a bad idea for the DIY people. I'm interested on more comments though.


Edit: For the price I doubt it will go over well.

 

Have you ever had a problem with a drain plug? I for one have never had any issues with a drain plug and see that as just a fancy gimmick. Im sure it works but its not that hard to turn a wrench. Each to his own.

 

its a nice little accessory, but ive never had an issue using a standard drain plug to warrant me wanting one of these.

but i see nothing wrong with them

 

i dont have a problem turning a wrench either.. just a convenience item that is nice at oil change time ..$22 is expensive ? I would only do it on a vehicle i plan to keep a long time. Anyway , thanks for the replies...

 

Sorry to bring up an old post, but these do work well. It has been on my rig for nearly 5 years with absolutely no problems.

At one point I thought that it might have been causing a leak from the oil pan, but it turned out to be my rear main.

Just thought that y'all might want to know that these valves are awesome.

 

nice to see someone else on this site that has knowledge of these. I also have one on my ford powerstroke diesel,it's very popular on powerstroke.org. so I assume you are wrench challenged also ,LOL !!!

 

Nope, I'm actually a jet engine mechanic in the Marine Corps, I just change the oil every 3000, sometimes less, so it makes it a lot easier.

 

I'm putting one on next oil change, won't have to remove my skid plate every time that way.

 

Thats exactly why I put it in.
