What a great idea for tools and equipment

This is a brilliant idea and great product that avoids changing the oil. Avoids fiddling with the oil pan bolt where, if you're clumsy like me, you might throw it in an oil waste container or burn yourself with hot oil escaping. My only caveat is the price, which seems prohibitively high. In the long run, however, it is worth changing the oil yourself. easy to install, great to use.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I will add later

Chaos Savior! - Fuel Transfer and Lubrication

Same part number installed on 2007 Toyota 4Runner V8 and 2017 Toyota Rav4. This little flap saves the mess! I no longer have to drop a skid plate on my 4runner to change the oil, and for those who claim draining takes too long, warm up the engine/oil a bit first and it will come out quicker. As soon as I open it I move on to changing the filter and when I come back to the pot it's already empty. Since then I've installed it in every car I've ever owned.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Nothing

Fit 2004 Lexus GX470

Easy to install. I have a skid plate so I chose this model to make sure it would fit snugly between the pan and skid plate. My oil drain hole in the skid plate isn't lined up exactly, so I attached a small piece of clear plastic tubing to the unit and secured it with a small zip tie. That way I can thread the tubing through the hole in the bottom panel and into the drain pan before opening the valve. When I'm done, I just stick the hose back through the hole.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I have nothing wrong with it, everything is fine

Fits great, serves its purpose and is safe.

Ideal for 2012 Camry Hybrid Xle. I prefer a short nipple as there is less chance of anything moving the valve as the Camry is fairly low to the ground. A longer nipple allows you to use a hose to drain the water more easily, so it's up to you. The toggle clip is not needed as it has been on my car for over 5 years without a locking clip but for my mum I would like a little more security. Be careful with stock items as I originally received the wrong item which is not compatible with my machine.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great upgrade to my truck

FYI: This particular model has been replaced by the F133. Modifications are internal only to provide better drainage. I got the latest model from the seller (Industrial Tec Supply). Got this for my Nissan Frontier as I got upgraded skid plates from Hefty Fabworks who make a regular drain plug to drain as you tend to drain oil. into skid This solves this problem by allowing me to use a nifty tube to route the oil. I'm not worried about it breaking as each brick has to indent the protective plate

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Reliability

Well designed and constructed unit.

Very nice piece of brass! I hesitated for a while but after a little research these valves have been used in the industry for many years so why not. I installed skid plates on my 2018 4Runner with RCI. Every time I pulled out the drain plug to change the oil, a small amount of oil got on the skid plate. I bought this along with the Fumoto drain hose. Fingers crossed for a cleaner next oil change. It looks very well built, with a secure valve handle, and the included plastic clip provides added…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Security

Super easy transfer of fuel and grease

Wow I love this. I usually write reviews when I have had a product for a long time and it has now been 6 months. I've been changing the oil in my car and on real cars for a long time. It was very easy. So easy, I didn't even have to put the car on a jack or hoist. That was the biggest oil change I've ever had. If it's about speed, NO. But I can say that I don't have to worry about stripping the screw or under tightening when using a special screw. My only concern is the safety lever. It looks…

  • Best in niche

  • Quality

2003 Toyota Camry V6 3.0 LE / 2007 Toyota Corolla S

Runs fairly easily and hasn't leaked after a few months. I haven't drained the oil yet so can't tell. A bit pricey but very satisfied so far. Update 11/30/19 - Finally drained the oil to work with the car, used an old oil container and clear plastic hoses and it all worked very well! Draining takes a little longer than just the "loose drain plug" method, but it's no big deal; this is not a race. ;) updated 10.10.20. It's been about 2 years since I installed this valve and I haven't had any…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not the best
