Question Anyone else using a Futomo Oil Valve?

I decided to put one of these on because I like to send my oil to the lab for analysis. I changed my oil for the first time today and it worked great. No signs of oil leaking and it was much cleaner than using the traditional oil screw. Just wondering if anyone else has had success with this product.

Yeah. Those crush washers are a joke. I replaced 4 of them when I swapped out my my Tranny and Diff fluids.

Is that similar to the Fram SureDraing product? That's what I use.

Not familiar with the Fram product you mentioned. Futomo is basically a valve with a clip which allows for easy oil changes. Just open and close the valve.

I bet you guys were beating your head against the wall when google turned up nothing eh? Sorry for the confusion. My original post should have said "fumoto valve" not "futomo valve". Check it out at http://www.fumotovalve.com/.

Yeah, it's similar to the Fram. For the Fram you plug a hose into it that opens the valve to drain. Works pretty good.
