Questions & Answers
Even if you use the plug provided in your vehicle, there will always be a small amount of oil left. Since I've been using Fumoto valves on my last three Subarus over the last 7 years, I have not encountered any problems.
I am writing to you as a customer who wishes to use a lever clip in his or her car. In fact, it is an accessory item and not essential even if you've been using the valves for quite some time. As well as an accessory item, we recommend the lever clips if the holder will be carrying the firearm on rough terrain more than the average person. In this case, the lever clip can serve as a first line of defense in the event of an accident and for peace of mind.
I've got a 2011 Forester with the newer version 2, so I don't know if it works with the 2016 model. With a cam chain, the engine has a V5.
Ultimately, you are in charge of this one. A number of Subaru users have applied for both at the same time
Selected User Reviews For Fumoto F-108 Engine Oil Drain Valve
After an oil change I stripped my oil plug only after an hour and a half. It is true that they will probably last a lifetime if properly handled, but I'm not a mechanic and do not have the appropriate tools + equipment. When I used a 12 point socket, I was always cramped under the car, at an angle that was bad. I was fortunate enough to have removed it when I replaced it with this one! By borrowing my neighbor's 6 point socket, I was able to remove it and then install the Oil changes take much less time and aren't such a hassle any longer because it doesn't leak. The deal is I still have to lift my car but others may Trucks and SUVs). It's not something I'm used to paying for (I'd rather work harder than smarter), but this is well worth the price. In case you are thinking of buying it, stop putting it off and go for.
Having installed Fumoto valves on two vehicles - both 2010 Toyota Highlanders and 2012 Subaru Outbacks - I have some experience. It was easy to install both valves and they both appear to work as they were supposed to. I will sum up my overall thoughts as follows 1
Fast and easy to install - about 5 minutes The time is 10 minutes*2. It saves you time and makes the process simpler - no screwing or unscrewing required
3. A cap can be bought to protect it from accidental opening, but it is extremely hard to accidentally open. It is easier to take small samples of oil than to dump the entire oil pan.
Tips Make sure the seal is as strong as possible by putting oil on the provided gasket. To check for potential spots, put a paper towel under your car when the installation is complete
3. Make sure your installation is tight and consider using a paper towel below the vehicle. Take care of your oil changes yourself - it's cheaper and some quick oil change shops don't know what can be found inside the fumoto valve.
In the past, I have always done my own oil changes on previous vehicles, and I hated having oil smeared all over my hands. In the past three oil changes, I have used the Fumoto and I will NEVER go back to the stupid Subaru soft-fill The drain plug is composed of metal. As soon as you open the ball valve, you can quickly determine the flow direction of the oil, and I only got oil on my fingers once - when I lined my filter with oil - during my As a result of not having to deal with a crush washer, you can spend more time on other things I cleaned the inside of my rig by removing metal oil drain plugs, and cleaning up spilled oil. You win and you win. There have been 15000 miles on a Subaru XT 2016. If you only drive on highways, the plastic clip is unnecessary since the spring protecting the ball valve will keep it in place regardless of what you drive. I drive mostly gravel and forest roads, so I appreciate the peace of mind the plastic clip provides. There are a lot of people here.
Getting your oil changed is now easier than ever! I think I've ever done a better job on a car than this. It's no longer a thing of the past. No more busted knuckles, no more stripped threads, no more hot, dirty oil splashed on In addition, you will no longer have to deal with expensive dealerships or shady lube chains! affect your car in any way, and you can always opt to put your OEM drain bolt back in if you want My 17 Impreza was deemed needing one during my very first oil change after reading about them on the Subaru subreddit. A lot of people said they were worth the money. Changing out the OEM drain bolt was simpler than installing the new one - simply hand tighten the bolt. Adding lube to the threads, crushing washers, etc. , none of that!
My hands were barely dirty when I changed my oil for the 2nd time. Drain your pan by inserting it into the valve and turning it Like usual, oil starts shooting out of the nozzle. The valve can then be closed when the container is empty. This is really just that easy, and there wasn't a mess involved! In the future, I'll put one of these on every vehicle I own. It is amazing that no mechanic I have spoken to knows anything about.
This has been a lifesaver for me as a person who performs a majority of his or her own oil changes (sometimes it's too cold in the upper states to go outside just to change the oil). As I recall, of course, I spent the better part of most of my life using a 13mm wrench to break open the drain plug, only to burn my hands as oil poured out and missed the drain pan by a few feet. To release the used oil, I simply line up the drain pan in the vicinity where I suspect the oil will leak, and I slowly lift the lever until the used oil is released. You'll definitely have less oil flow with a valve on there than if you didn't have one, but the trade off is well worth the trade off. You will also save your oil pan because you won't have to strip the threads on it by overtightening it every time because you're afraid that the oil leaks Everyone who changes his or her own oil should know about this. It is also a good idea to inform anyone working on your car that you have this valve, as my car was thrown in the trash by a mechanic when he didn't know To make a long story short, he replaced it with a traditional drain plug and attempted to charge When I told him that I had this valve on it, he pulled it out of the trash and said, "So that's what it was. ". The 5th is a 5.
I finally had a chance to try it six months ago, and I am more than pleased with it. I changed my oil in less than 20 minutes (including a beer) with little to A controlled stream drains into the pan as soon as the lever is pressed. How long does it take? Is it slower than usual? That beer is draining, but you can enjoy it while it's doing so. The Forester I have for my wife will certainly benefit from one.
It fit my 2015 WRX perfectly and there was no leakage The installation process is straightforward. It is an extremely well-made product. The thought of this made me nervous at first, but after installing it, I saw the beauty of the concept. Crush washers are no longer necessary You don't need to worry about twisting drain plugs anymore (or buying them).
The 2007 Scion FRS came with this. Note that this valve comes with a blue fiber washer, and that you should not use an OEM crush washer with it. I initially found the valve to be leaking slowly, and immediately realized it was because I had only hand-tightened Be sure to apply pressure to the valve and then tighten another 1/8 to 1/4 turn with a wrench. As for me, I found the valve to be pretty tight after 1/8 turn, and there is no leak now.
