Default Fumoto drain valve.

I changed the oil in my truck for the first time since I got it. I probably should have done it immediately since the oil that came out looked about 15k old


but anyway, a previous owner installed a fumoto oil drain valve on it, and wow... it makes the whole process super quick and tidy. not that an oil change is much work... but now it's even less. I'm going to buy them for my other cars too.

How does it work? What does it do? I didn't think you could make turning a wrench a few times could be made much simpler.

Its one of those quick drain valves, usually used in racing cars for quick changes. You just turn a small valve by hand and drains right out.

there's no worry of accidentally turning the valve? i'd hate to lose all my oil on accident
