anyone using it?
I did have the Fumuto valve on my 2001 Dodge. I liked the convenience of it. But I took it off. Here's why...
Years ago a retired Cummins engineer walked by our spot and we ended up chatting about the good and bad of Cummins Diesel.
But specifically on the valve and draining oil, he gave the following example.
Drain a sink full of really dirty water. If drain is working like it should there will be very little residue left in the sink. Then drain a sink full dirty water by pulling the plug 1/2 way or 1/4 of the way. Then look how much residue is left in the sink. His feelings on those type plugs restrict drainage flow. He also felt that OEMS's should actually have a bigger drain hole. But he did feel that a magnetic plug was good idea.
