Considering a Fumoto? I was too.

After reading comments regarding the Fumoto F133N Oil Drain Valve, I was really considering ordering one.

Until I saw this. The ValvoMax Oil Change System in M12-1.25. No little lever hanging down, stainless vs brass construction, multiple seals. Costs about the same as a Fumoto, plus a quart of Mobil 1.

This right here is Shinola.

Until you lose the drainer piece and realize you wasted 50 bucks.

Fumoto lever is a non issue on 5 or 6 different vehicles I've used it on.

Imo valvomax is opposite of shinola. The saying here is apropos

The little Fumoto lever is very well tucked up high and away from potential debris, and is also very well protected by the skid plate. Fumoto valves have a very well proven track record. I can see this valve being difficult to function, by me not being able to get the cap off using my fingers up in that location.

If i can get a bit more motivated i am going to install my Fumoto this AM.
The only way to go.

Fumoto = Quick, easy, no parts to lose and nothing else to hook up.
