Default FUMOTO Speed Valve


I have to do an oil change and wanted to put in a Fumoto valve. I'd prefer not to wait for shipping. Can anybody suggest a shop that might stock the valve? The Fumoto site was not much use, in terms of shops.

Thanks

Excuse my ignorance but what the hell is a Fumoto valve? Sounds like something for car bukkake or something.

It is a valve used in place of a standard oil pan bolt. Makes for quick work if your doing an oil change by yourself.

i wouldn't suggest that thing. you hit a raised manhole or something and it's game over.

i have one around here somewhere that someone gave to me and i never put it on for the reason it might rip off. it sticks out really far because the S needs another piece.

That thing is so convenient! I had it in the Camaro and I have it my truck. Its an awesome piece, you'll thank yourself everytime you get under there.

But, yea, the S is too low for the valve. For any other non-lowered vehicle its awesome.

like you do any maintinence on your car!

Seriously you don't even have to lift our car to do an oil change!
You can reach right down and take the bolt out and the filter is right above it so....
