Boy, is that the truth. I have one on my ISL (28 quarts of oil), and it takes me about 1/2 hour to drain all that oil. However, absolutely no mess!! I keep my empty oil containers from my previous oil change and drain the current oil into them for recycling drop off at the local auto parts store.

I take my iPhone with me and read rv.net while laying under the motorhome waiting for the oil to drain. :B

I have one and I think it's great. Current coach uses the F104N and I believe I bought direct from Fumoto. Makes maintenance easier as well as sampling.

Wow, that looks VERY handy. :) Thanks for sharing!

Very quick and easy. I made a metal guard for in front of mine. I didn't think it would hold up well to a tiregator.

I have them on all my vehicles,less mess and I just pop on the plastic tube and put it in the vessel I want the oil to go in,turn the lever and it is done.
