Fumoto Drain Valve?

[el_barto]

I’m looking to install a Fumoto oil drain valve during my next oil change, to make future oil changes less messy.
Any recommendation for which “version” to get?

I put Fomotos on everything i have to work on, love them, i prefer to get the F106S . It gives you the option if you want to hook up a hose w/o being too long that i'm worried about it getting snagged on something.

I have the F106S and really like it. It comes with a clear plastic hose that I shortened to about a foot long and drain directly into one gallon jugs. You just have to make sure you can see the oil level in the jug as it is easy to overfill.

I run them on everything. makes changing the oil soooooo easy!

Had the long nipple version on my '05. Never attached a hose to it in 15 yrs so don't think the nipple is necessary. A 3 gal oil jug from walmart fit under there just fine.

Fwiw I have hemi 6.4 and have a dethloff skid plate. I will be using a tube because of the Skid plate.
I made a big mess on the last oil change , it squirted on the Skid plate and went everywhere

I ended up purchasing the F106S (short nipple) and some generic 3/8” ID clear vinyl tube on Amazon. The nipple is pretty short, but the hose stays on fine, as long as it doesn’t get bumped...shouldn’t be a big deal.
Just waiting on the oil to show up so I can do the oil change and install this thing.

Besides the clear plastic tubing, my kit also included a hard plastic fitting that has a hose barb for the tubing and snaps onto the short nipple on the valve. It seems to hold on firmly enough and is working so far. The hot oil softens the tubing, so I don’t think it would hold onto the valve without the hard plastic fitting. Just a heads up to prevent a mess if you are draining into a jug.

Good to know. I’ll try it with the tubing I got next change, worst case I just have to baby sit the tubing.


Changed the oil this evening and installed the valve. It does hang a bit low, if I didn’t have the big Dethloff skid plate I’d be concerned about it.

I just changed the oil on my truck today and noticed that the Fomoto kit has a straight plastic fitting and a 90 degree fitting. Here is a photo of how I have mine set up. The hose is long enough so that I can rest it on top of the axle after I pull it out of the jug. That way oil doesn’t drip onto the driveway while I am emptying the one gallon jug into a larger container.

Looks neat , downside from what I can tell is thatyou can’t drain unless you have their specific hose/fitting

I haven't checked my thread pitch yet to see if they have one to match, the low profile one looks interesting
