What size Fumoto valve do you use on the APS oil pan??? Just curious because it doesn't look like the same size as the oem

I used the 18mm x 1.5 Fumoto on my APS pan. The APS plug is 14mm

OK so you used the F-104, how come you didn't go for the F-106 14mm-1.5? Also wanted to ask it doesn't stick out too low? I was scared it might hit on a speed bump? Thanks for the info

He probably stripped the original 14x1.5 and had to drill and re-tap to a bigger size.

Though I'm installing a Fumoto, I may as well update the thread.

I read on here that APS recommends a torque of only 8 ft. lbs. for the drain plug. I have not personally verified this with APS, but just in case anyone is looking.
