Review on πŸ”₯ Fumoto Original F107N: A Reliable Oil Drain Valve with LC-10 Lever Clip - Golden - Buy Now! by Ryan Dillon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No mess and some length for comfort on my generator

Generators should have their oil changed at the beginning (or end) of each season. Of course you drive yours every year, repair it professionally and change the oil? As a result, even French-era generators run smoothly during hurricanes 20 years later. Oil changes have always been an issue. On my Generac, the oil drain on a Suzuki engine is on the flat underside of the crank, on a simple NPT connector, and is recessed next to the wheel and alternator support frame. I haven't invented a way to replace them in 20 years. Oil without dirt and cleaning. urge Fear. Then I came across these Fumoto quick change valves on the internet. For my NPT connector I had to adapt this to their ADP-710 adapter. This combo does three things for me: (1) The swing-out lever keeps my finger off the oil like it was before removing a simple square-ended NPT metal plug (2). ) The length in this case (which I would invent if needed) gives the valve outlet past the stem frame - so if I didn't do anything the oil wouldn't get all the way over the frame anyway. (3) The exit - on this model - is the end of the tube. So I can attach a piece of hose and push the oil even further. Too bad I didn't know that 20 years ago. I'm considering buying matching models or my Tundra and our Odyssey to make these changes less of a hassle.

Pros
  • Fuel transfer and lubrication
Cons
  • Not bad
