How To Install a Fumoto Oil Drain Valve 

That's a smart oil drain feature. I think I may get one on my cars. I change the engine oil every 5000km's. Watching your video, I just want to tell a few things I do little differently. 1/ before I loosen the drain screw, I also loosen the oil filler cap on top of the engine. Oil run out easier. 2/ I undo the oilfilter while the sump plug is still off. Makes fraining easier. 3/ I only ever use original oil filters, so I am certain that the paper inside have the correct density and the valve is also there. 4/ I take out the rubber ring on the new oil filter completely and smear it lightly with the fresh engine oil and reinsert it into the new oil filter. 5/ I fill up the new oil filter with fresh engien oil before i screw in on to the engine. Makes the engine suffer less. Some oil pumps etc. arevery sensitive. 6/ I always wear nitril powder free gloves when doing thiese jobs, as over time one may damage the skin long term. Not very nice. Just a few comments on how I do it. Kind regards.

Just installed my second one on my Santa Fe. The first one went with the engine when they replaced it a couple months ago. Really makes changing oil easier. I'd consider buying three for my bike, yes three, but ground clearance in already tight under there.

a friendly tip: next time, before you spin off that oil filter, use a hole puncher to punch a hole at the bottom of the oil filter to drain as much used oil out as possible. Once the oil stop dripping, you can then spin the spent oil filter off. That way, it'll make less of a mess for ya every time you change oil filter.

4:50 just Subaru tings! This is exactly why I'm installing a Fumoto valve tomorrow

Just ordered two for my Golfs, looks easy and simple enough to use!

Great video, I love the egg-cent 😊 I just installed an F106SX, and if yours is similar then the M14 bolt that goes through the Fumoto is hollow and has its own o-ring with the body, while the body can move freely before tightening (this is actually visible in the vid, how else could you ensure the outlet is not pointing the wrong way afterwards?). Therefore, tightening on the body alone might be wrong, unless you ensure the bolt also turns 1/8. If you turn the body and the bolt stays, then you are effectively tightening nothing. Fumoto actually instruct to give the bolt 25Nm, and this can only be done properly via the bolt (hex or allen) and not just on the body. IMO you are very lucky if the bolt got tight enough like that. And yes, the clip is useful if installed in the groove, where it snaps in nicely 😊

the rag made the mess use a glove for the love lol. getting one soon thanks for the demo.

Thanks for sharing guys! This valve will certainly make all the future oil changes a breeze! Cheers from USA! My brother lives in Aukland and is called Doctor Hybrid (owns Premier Motors).

Great video, just a small comment, the black plastic safety plug should be installed into metal slot below lever. Thanks for great video

Hey Guys, the safety clip is not installed properly. The handle of the valve goes into the slit in the black clip.

Instead of buying an oil filter udder like others have mentioned, just get a shopping bag, loosen the filter a tad, then put the shopping bag back over the filter, then loosen the rest of the way. Best way to do it without spending $60+.

It seems like the oil would drain better from the oil pan if the vehicle was lifted only from the front. Tilting the vehicle up would run mor oil to the drain port.

Use a disposable plastic cup to unscrew your filters the rest of the way. That was the cup catches the oil instead of it getting all over your hand

Love the Fumoto! 🏌️‍♀️

My suggestions: Wear eye protection, wear gloves to avoid harm (Cancer) from the used oil, remove the dipstick and filler cap prior to removing the drain plug (Or now before opening the Fumoto valve), remove and replace oil filter before closing Fumoto valve, partially fill the oil filter with oil to help eliminate or lessen the effects of a “Dry” start, use a funnel for adding oil, and purchase the accessory cap from Fumoto that fits on the end of the drain valve to keep it clean. Otherwise, I enjoyed your video and plan to buy a Fumoto valve. Thank you.

You put the Fumoto lever clip on the wrong way. The lever is suppose to go in between the slit on the lever.

Question is it One size fits all?

Loosen the oil filter, then punch a hole on the bottom of the filter. Let it completely drain. No mess!

What’s the difference between the 105 and 105S ?

Great video, thank you

You should get an oil filter udder as well! Keep your hands clean and funnel your oil filter mess into a stream.

Thank god the oil filter is ontop of my engine bay on my FR-S lol Subaru did something good

Mate you gotta get a 2 post hoist, we did and the best $3500 we ever spent.

wouldn't be easier on you if you lifted the car a bit higher? it would give you more room, no? eye protection too. you'll look like a geek but could save your eyesight. some newspaper and paper towels are good to use and save you on good shop rags.

I wouldn't worry about wiping the oil... the gasket will absorb the oil and create the seal.

It is quicker but ...the threads of the Fumoto stick about 1" into the base of the oil pain. That means that there will be about 1/2 cup of old gunky oil still in the pan, after draining it using this or similar devices. And over a couple of years that amount may become like sludge......YT vids have demonstrated this on these type of devices. Thats they only thing keeping me from buying one.

Oh shoot my didn’t sit flush to the oil pan and I had to tighten it with a wrench 🔧....

A valve like that would be REALLY nice on a BMW, where the oil filter is on the top of the engine, and can be changed mess free if the engine is drained.

Seeing you under that car make me glad I got rid of my 1989 Pontiac Fire Bird back in 2012...and then I bought a used 2006 Silverado and now, one year ago a 2019 Chevy Silverado All-Star..I had installed there valves on every vehicle and motorcycle that i've ever owned.. Never a leak, or opened up on its own or break off. these valves are awesome....check out the install on my 2007 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Motorcycle.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XnQWNYEXEws.html

What you don't own a funnel for pouring your oil.

Ahh man. Your rag got soaked.

Ahahaha these comments are straight roasting the poor guy.

Sbarro

Only problem is now an ornery swagman can sabotage your car without tools.

Latex gloves and eye protection

might as well invest in a funnel lol

Using a Crescent wrench wrong ):

video is too loud, you should have recorded quieter sound
