🔧 F137N with LC-10 F-Series Large Body Fumoto Valve: Long Nipple & Lever Clip | M12-1.75 Review

Bought three, easy installation but takes a while to empty the oil pan. That's a good idea, but it's not the same as unplugging from the outlet.

Bought three, easy to install but takes some time to drain the oil pan. That's a good idea, but it's not the same as unplugging from the outlet.

Fits my 2019 Ford Flex SE well. This makes changing the oil a bit easier because you can attach a hose to the nipple and pipe the oil straight into the reservoir instead of pouring the pan into the reservoir. I have used a Fumoto valve in another car for over 10 years with no problems.

Although the manufacturer's website states that this will work for the 2020 Ford Ranger, this is not the case. The diameter and thread pitch are correct, but the drain hole is countersunk in the sump and the valve will not thread in because it is against the sidewall of the recess. I've had fumotos on my last 4 machines and love them very much, but they didn't hit the mark on this one.

I had this valve on my 2013 Ford and was very impressed with the ease of changing the oil. My next pickup was a 2017 Ford. Yes, with a plastic oil pan, so I couldn't use that valve. Fast forward to my 2021 F150 and the return of the metal oil pan. Ordered this valve two days after receiving the truck. While it's easy to unscrew the drain plug, this valve makes the job easier and cleaner by allowing you to use the drain hose.
