little pruduct review on my oil drain valve. i have removed it because it would leak slightly. not sure if it was the threads or the valve itself. wasnt much just enough to notice and it bothered me. great idea, it made oil change simple and clean but may need some work. any others have same issue?

 

Had to been from the threads...you could of wrapped the threads with some teflon tape, changed the washer and re-installed

 

I've never had an issue with mine.

 

I have used them before without any leaking and thanks for the heads up.
My extended service plan is up soon so I will be installing a Fumoto for doing my own changes. I will put a little teflon tape on the threads for what is a one time installation.

 

My 14 SCrew XLT is the 4th vehicle that I've used the Fumoto on with ZERO problems. And I've had it for around 250,000 miles or so.

 

I've had them on my previous trucks without issue.

 

I've also used them on several vehicles, with no issues.

 

No issues.

 

I have heard from real world people that these things have a leak problem some times and being cheap junk is easily broken off 4x4ing.

Since I do venture onto a rocky road alot I would never install it.


Losing engine oil would be devastating.

 

These are not "cheap junk" as you mentioned.

Common sense would dictate weather or not you would choose to use one if you're venturing onto terrain that could possibly rip it off. Also it would depend on the location of the drain valve.

If I was running ground that had the potential to rip things off the bottom of my truck I'd be running skid plates.
