Order now placed. Thanks Silk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47420-fumoto-drain-valve-worthwile-investment/#findComment-703285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansedgli Member 214 Member For: 21y 5m 21d Posted 09/07/08 05:21 AM Share Posted 09/07/08 05:21 AM that's awesome! Ive just ordered one too. No more getting burnt or oil all over the spanner / socket set. I think Ill be fitting the hoseclamp for extra security though. It would suck to hit a rock and dump all your oil all over the road a few hours from home.

This is the one without the nipple the nipple one has a nipplr on the bottom of it. Apparently in europe some of the places fit nipple plugs so they can suck the oil out at the mechanics shop with a special air compressor tool to make oil changes really fast. All I know is once you fit one you never want to change oil the old way again.
