Fumoto Valve
How many are using a Fumoto or similar? I getting tried of cleaning up after oil changes, what are the issues? I know they don't drain as fast possibly leaving sediment in the pan. Thanks

I used a Fumoto when I was changing oil myself. Worked great. Does take longer. I just attached a hose to the nipple and fed it to the pan. No mess - ever. No lost drain bolt. etc.
I also added a stainless hose clamp for peace of mind so that the lever could not accidently get bumped into the 'drain' position. The horror story was 'what if a dog/coyote/alligator (I'm in Florida) wandered under the truck when it was parked and bumped the valve' ? Pretty remote possibility for sure but adding a hose clamp prevents the lever from moving.
