I use this same setup. Works beautifully.
Ditto!
Do they drain faster than the Fumoto?Not sure if you are aware of this. I have it on many vehicles and very happy.

Can't answer, only use ValvoMax. No issue on my part, would tend to think they are comparable.
How far is the ValvoMax from the sway bar? It looked too close for me, I wanted to order it.
Truck isn't with me right now and the oil was changed in the fall so can't give you an answer at the moment but I have no issues. The company is great to deal with. The inventor of Valvo Max did not like the Fumoto, thought there could be something better and came up with his own. He is looking to expand into more things oil related. If you go to his web site he has paper funnels for adding oil and some other things. Good if you need to add oil and you don't want to carry a funnel around in your car along with some potential mess. Even with a good arm span our Rams are a reach when adding oil, you can keep one in your glove compartment. The owner is a vet and his products are made in America, two strong points with me.
I've looked at those and there seems to still be some screwing and unscrewing involved. Considering I will be on my back in the middle of my driveway, I think the Fumoto is the way for me.Not sure if you are aware of this. I have it on many vehicles and very happy.

I tried the larger Oil Udder for the first time and it worked great. Attached a hose to the end and ran into a pan. Not a drop lost anywhere but where it should go.

Did you use the XL or the XXL version of the Oil Udder?I tried the larger Oil Udder for the first time and it worked great. Attached a hose to the end and ran into a pan. Not a drop lost anywhere but where it should go.
Oil Udder 4" XL with Drain Kit | Order Now | Oil Udder
The Oil Udder XL magnetically snaps on your filter catching all the excess oil keeping your hands, the ground and your frame clean. The drain kit configuration allows any amount of oil to flow thru the Oil Udder keeping your hands and vehicle clean.
XL is for a filter up to 4”. Plenty big for the Hemi filter. I liked the extra space for oil containment. The XXL might be a bit big to squeeze in the small filter area. The XL is tight but work just fine. Flexible enough to bend the bottom spout a bit to fit around the frame.
Thanks for the info. I just ordered one of these.
The OP has an Eco which has the easiest, no mess oil filter change of any vehicle I've ever owned.
