Fumoto Oil Drain Valve

[Dewey]

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.

Not yet.

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.

Since 2006 I've had three trucks with the Fumato valve. I always let the dealer do the first oil change and they also install my valve.

John great to see you are here too. Ecosparkie from The Ecodiesel forum.

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.

that is why a lot of us went with this one

F316L - Elbow Joint Oil Drain Valve 14mm-1.5 | FUMOTO

The L-type Fumoto Oil Drain Valve has a 360 degree rotational capability, detachable elbow joint. This allows for connecting a hose at every angle. The position of the elbow joint can be fixed by adjusting the nut between the valve and the joint.

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.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but this drove me to buy the fumoto as well as an oil udder xl.

These forums have really impacted my bank account

I usually do my own oil changes but sometimes I’m pressed for time and just swing by whatever live shop for the convenience. Anyone had an issue running into a quick oil change business with this valve on? I imagine the tech would love it but I can see businesses claiming some sort of liability concern…

Yes, Walmart would not do an oil change because my Fumato drain plug was not OEM.

I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and want to install one of these drain valves when I hit 5000 miles. Have any of you installed one in your 5th gen and if so what is the part number? They don't have anything newer than 2017 for Ram on their website.
