This valve makes oil changes sooooooo much easier and cleaner! You can open and close the drain by a twist of the lever that locks the ball type valve, Unfortunately for the s2000 you need to buy the $6 adapter piece so the valve can clear the oil pan, It also has a nipple attachment that allows you to connect a hose to one end and drain it into your oil pan or oil bottles! I will not be pouring the oil carefully and spilling oil everywhere again! LOL

Anyways I just thought i would share this new accessory of mine with you guys, since theres alot of DIYer's here. Im pretty sure if some of you guys wanted it they would not have a issue sticking them in the mail. Well heres the pics of it installed.









I have the same thing on my ap2 I bought just last July, Cant comment on it yet as I have not done an oil change on my car since I purchased it [ Guy had just did and oil change before selling me the car ]. Will be doing and oil change this weekend, Looks like its simple enough. will comment later.

I've had the fumoto valve on my car pretty much since I bought the car nearly 4 years ago. I haven't had a single issue with it. There's no reason to fear loss of oil due to accidental opening of the valve IMO.

That being said, my valve doesn't have that plastic bit on the end. Not really sure what that is for.
