Will see when it's time. I have changed a lot of oil on lots of machines. The Polaris rangers and rzrs were the worst even a oil udder would not help there.
I used my Oil Udder XL for the first time last oil change and didn’t lose a drop except what dripped off the mounting threads later. Worked great with a hose connected to the end and running into a pan or oil jug.

Looks like a knock off fumoto valve that doesn't have the nipple to attach a hose
Very similar, I chose this over the other after lots of reading. And they have "nipple' options to slide the hose to. I have a 90 and a straight. But i run the threaded cap when not changing the oil.
And the hose spring clamp is stiff enough, you likely won't be taking it off to move the lever to drain with your fingers that's for sure. But yes, very similar to one another. Either way, better than straight to the sway bar.

I grew tired of using a cardboard/flap to get around it. and since we have these on other machines and the elbow/nipples all interchange. Just made sense to spend the 20.00 or so for it.






I am running the PacBrake relocator as well. Worth every penny. No drop in PSI that I have noticed and holds just a touch more oil. Nothing to write home about on the added capacity though.

Did an oil change today and noticed my front sway bar contacted the nipple on my Fumoto at some point. Not good!😲

Thought I had plenty of clearance with the short nipple.

I had it mounted vertical but now turned horizontal for even more clearance. Hopefully that fixed it.

I saw some went with the longer tube valve. That one could really be an issue. Mine will be perfectly fine now that I oriented it properly.
