I have not yet changed my own oil in my S2000, but it's not beyond my comprehension. I saw this online and wondered if anyone has tried it? Thoughts, usefulness, etc?
Oil Drain Valve

2 years with it = no problem... Real easy to change oil.

Recommened.

If you can fit an oil pan under your car and your arms are long enough you dont even need to jack up the car to do the oil with it installed

I have one fitted.
My only comment is that it is quite a small drain hole, so the oil flows fairly slowly.
All in all well worth the $$

Thanks for the relies, everyone. I ordered one along with a taller windscreen and key hole covers. The oil drain valve is on back order, so I'll have to wait for that one.

Continuing on with this thread, what is the best oil filter wrench to use for the S2000?

Cheap $5 type at your local parts store.
Your really going to like the Fumoto and I'd recommend it for everyone.

I always let the car run for a lil while, this heats up the oil and lets it drain quicker

I'd rather wait a few minutes to let the oil drain out than risk a burn on a hot engine. Besides, My first car was an old VW bug and I always changed that oil cold, along with the valve adjustments it needed every 3,000 miles that had to be done with a cold engine. Does anyone know off the top of their head how much oil I'll need to put in for a change? Do you always put in 5.1 quarts or do you put in less and run it for a while to see where the level falls on the dip stick?

If the specs say to torque wrench the oil drain nut to the 29 lb-ft specs, would you torque the new drain valve to the same specs if possible?
