I have had one on my last two trucks. Warm oil up and open the valve. Go do something else. Done. Love it.

Open the valve and then go eat a sandwich, not like your hands are getting dirty while you're doing an oil change! If your oil filter is hand tight (like it should be) the whole oil change process requires no tools at all.

I love these valves, I've had them on my last four trucks and on my GSX-R1000.

Question: For you guys that installed the 107N on your 3.5 EB, have you ever removed the valve after completing an oil drain just to see how much residual oil was in the pan? I'd like to install one of these, but I'm thinking that the body of the fitting will keep (TBD) ounces of oil (and sediment) from draining out, since the drain location is on the side of the pan.

TIA

Nope. From their FAQ page:

Q: Does the Fumoto Engine Oil Drain Valve protrude into the oil pan and impede drainage of the engine oil?

A: No. Fumoto Engine Oil Drain Valves are designed to fit individual drain pan specifications and in almost every situation will not extend into the drain pan. However, replacement or aftermarket oil pans may differ from the original oil pan specification and as a result the valve stem may protrude further into oil pan than normal.

Since I drain mine back into a 5qt jug from my previous change I know how much is coming out and it always gets to or slightly past the 5qt mark. I know the engine holds 5.5qts but since there is some in the filter I don't even worry about it.
