Constructed of forged brass and stainless steel to exacting Japanese specifications, S series valves are designed to provide a lifetime of dependable and reliable service. To use the S valve, simply attach a hose to the nipple or use the optional SH-10 or SL-10 plastic socket and snap it onto the valve nipple.

I have one on each of my cars - used them for over 10 years. Changing oil is fast, clean, and convenient. If you get oil changes at a service garage, you may rest assured they won't strip the oil drain plug because there isn't one - it's a ball-valve with a lever. No more wrenches, no leaks and no more chances of stripping the drain plug. It's idiot proof.

What's not to like? Take clip off. Flip switch. Let oil drain. Flip switch. Wipe the tip. Replace clip. No wrenches, no new drain plug washers, no oily hands, no digging the drain plug out of the oily pan, etc. If they make one for your car and you change your own oil, get one. It's a good decision.

Update 11/2020:Did my oil change and boy was it easy! No more mess and guess work with that oil drain plug and how much thread is left before it POPS off! Clean, easy to use. I did use the hose connector and that made it even easier. The plastic clip that prevents the latch from sliding did not break over a 6 month time frame (snow driving as well). Things did not leak yet, and everything is good so far. As always, will update if things change. With my one use so far, I definitely recommend this for the DYI oil changers out there. I'll easily buy this for all my cars going forward (already did for my 2019 WRX as well - that one uses F108s).Original Review 5/2020:Easy install, just add washer it comes with and tighten (I would hand tighten, then use a 17mm bolt to tighten just a little more - quarter turn). Done. No more splashing of oil when you unscrew the oil drain plug... A dream for those who change oil themselves.No leaks from it, just needed to make sure the valve is locked. The plastic stopper is a nice touch to help with accidental opening, but highly doubt it will accidentally open since it "locks" into place when you turn it to close. Will be keeping my eyes out to see if there are any issues later down the road. But so far, well worth the money.I did purchase the hose and connector for this valve, but since I just did my oil change and now have this installed, I'll update months later when I change oil again to see how effective that is. But it does fit just fine, tested before installing the valve to the car.If anything changes I'll update this review!

Threads on an oil pan aren't made to withstand the many many times the oil drain plug is removed and tightened. The threat of stripped threads is compounded when, in the course of ownership, the car had been brought to the local oil change boutique for oil changes, and the neighborhood high school kid on the weightlifting team has a part-time job doing oil changes there. Sure, you can get an oversized plug when the threads strip, or get one of those expandable rubber plugs for a temporary fix- OR, you can get a FUMOTO valve, install it once, and be done with it. Obviously, it take the place of the oil drain plug, but can also double as a "sampling" valve; or sometimes, when too much oil is added during an oil change for one reason or another, the valve can be opened and any extra oil can easily be removed. Even though I do my own oil changes, I have one on each car I own. No matter how careful one may be, and I'm careful, there's always the good chance that that oil drain plug will someday strip the threads in the oil pan. For me, I'ld rather install a $30 FUMOTO valve BEFORE I hear myself say the ole, shoulda - coulda - woulda.

I have used the Fumoto products for many of my cars. It never failed!Besides it is easy to lock and unlock the oil from the engine pan, it also keeps the drain hole socket from loosing its tightness from multiple attempts of unbolting.Now, changing oil is faster and cleaner.

Installed on my 2019 Ram 2500 6.4 L Hemi. Fitment is fine, easy to install, no more messy oil changes. Short nipple is short. I’d get the long nipple version if I were to buy again.Fumoto has a hose kit with little plastic adapters that snap onto the short nipple...I chose to take my chances and just get generic vinyl tubing . It fits, and it stays on the short nipple, but just barely. I chose to hold it on during the majority of the oil draining. If lightly bumped I’m sure it would come off. If you have the room, get the regular/long nipple so you don’t have to worry about the hose coming off. I have a nice big skid plate, so I will probably switch to the long nipple version for convenience after the next oil change.

I have purchased 3 different valves for my cars and trucks and think the product is great. For various reasons I didn't install the last one almost two years after I purchased it, and when I went to install it I found that the actual part in the package was different that it's label. Amazon couldn't do anything at that point, but when I contacted Fumoto customer service directly they sent me a prepaid label and sent me the correct valve right away. I was very happy with that level of customer service!

Purchased this for GFs Kia Soul to control drain and prevent oil splatter. I've had one of these on my WRX for years for the same reason and have been very happy. Absolutely no issues with accidental oil drain. I understand the apprehension some have regarding this type of fitting but I recommend for the right situation. Do NOT install if you're even thinking about going off road.

I love how this drain valve makes doing oil changes even faster and cleaner. Just remove the safety clip, open up the valve and wait. No messing around with a socket... dealing with oil seeping out as you loosen it etc. You can even attach a hose to the valve and drain the oil straight into a container. No muss no fuss... no less.The valve is very high quality and has a bit of a double safety for piece of mind that it won't just open up if you go over a bump on the highway. There's a plastic guard that keeps the valve mechanism in place, and you have to push down and across to work the lever to open the valve. It's under tension to stay in the closed position.

Excelente, llevo mucho tiempo con el instalado, no me ha dado problemas. Resulta muy comodo el servicio de cambio de aceite con este sistema. Genial.

Es la mejor compra para alguien que gusta de hacerles los servicios a sus autos. Ésta válvula tiene la cuerda compatible con el Ford Fiesta (tengo el ST, creo que los modelos base también tienen la misma tuerca), para el cárter del Fiesta ST se requiere adicionalmente el extensor ADP-106.Se instala y listo, cambios de aceite en menos de 20min sin estar buscando el dado 13 y la breaker bar para aflojarlo, cero fugas (y éste carro ha visto 3 track days desde que se instaló, asà como bastantes km de carretera y uso diario en ciudad con topes mal hechos y baches tipo cráter).Recomendable al 100%

Installed easily on Hyundai Venue 2023. No extension needed. Will make it so much easier to have clean oil changes.
