More than a year and no issues so far....arguably the best mod for the money when it comes time for maintenance.

I just got one too. haven't actually put it to use yet, but next oil change should be a breeze. I have the spoon x-brace which makes oil changes a PITA without the valve.

Interesting that you should mention these. The last thread about them died a year ago.

Yeah.... I did a search on fumoto and look at the dates. Most threads are old so I decided to post another thread.

Thanks!

Please be aware that my roommate that works as a mechanic for a dealership did have one car come in recently for a blown motor because the drain valve failed. No specifics on why or how, but it dumped all the oil on the road.

Voodoo, was it a fumoto or another valve that failed? There are others out there.

Chiung,

Not sure. I actually wasn't aware there are other valves out there.
