Fumoto valve?

[mikegrook]

is anyone using a Fumoto valve on their Hemi Rams?

Yes, Installed during my first oil change. I have used them on all my vehicles as far as I can remember. Never had one leak or take damage from being off road.

I use them, hey take longer to drain because of the smaller orifice but whi is in a hurry?

^^^^ That's why they make 16 oz. cans instead of 12 oz. cans. Extra time to enjoy a beverage while it drains.

I bought one and then chickened out. Went to beach last year & had to help dig out my son who got his (ford) stuck - in the process I had dug myself in at least once pretty deep. Paranoid about being buried to the rails and it being ripped off. Am I being paranoid? Anyone do much beach driving & run into any issues?

I know that if I get it ripped off by a rock, well, other stuff will get trashed too, but it makes me uncomfortable since we go on the beach - and sand happens.... talk me off the ledge, LOL!
Thanks,
Josh

Have one on my Cummins, it’s slower than a drain plug but there is zero mess and I drain straight into gallon jugs for easy disposal.

I was going to get one of these. Then i changed my oil the first time and didnt see a need. I have a 4" lift and a 5gal pail fits perfectly underneath. I have no need. But i do see the value in them, esp running a hose for better disposal.

I've driven on the beach a lot and never had a problem. However I've never buried my truck either. IMHO you won't have any

Same here, even the same vehicles!
Just took the one on the RAM off because it leaked ever since I put it on. Not bad, but you can tell where I park it at home.
Changed the oil, took it off, noticed the blue washer was broken. So it's my assumption I tightened the valve too much and broke it when I installed it. Never had an issue on all the other vehicles I have put it on.
Need to order a new washer for it and re-install it next oil change.

I just installed mine this weekend along with relocating the filter. I torqued mine to 25 ft lbs, the same as I did the original plug to avoid a leak or washer damage. Used a 3/4 " crowfoot on the torque wrench. Also I bought the valve with the hose nipple out so draining will be cleaner & I put a plugged piece of hose just in case the valve seeps.

I have a Fumoto valve F106N: Fumoto Engine Oil Drain Valve with Nipple for drain plug size 14mm-1.5 installed on my 07' Quad Cab 1500, 2wd, 5.7L Hemi truck. I love it, works very well, will not open without some effort plus I have the plastic clip that prevents the valve from opening without removing the clip first.

Yeah, I messed up. This is the 4th one I have had and I never screwed up till this one.

I have one on the truck and the wife's Wrangler. Used them for years and never an issue.

 

[WillB]

Thanks for all of the reassurance - will install mine next oil change.

 

[Harley Harrold]

I did a oil change on my truck recently, the Fumoto Valve worked flawlessly oil drained quickly without any mess. Great investment for my truck and my time doing oil changes.

 

[Centershot]

Ordered the Fumoto and a oil filter relocator. I will install in a few days when i change oil.

So what's the most popular valve?......long nipple, short nipple or no nipple?

 

[Barney556180]

I prefer the long nipples if enough clearance. Less chance the plastic tubing will come off while draining the old oil. I really want to avoid the resulting mess...

 

[indept]

Long nipple...
