Treesmaker Clutched January 20, 2005 Share January 20, 2005 Hello all, my Fumoto drain oil valve arrived, cost me only USD$27.95 including shipping. My package arrived in 18 days using US Postal Mail, not bad for USD $5/-. My 10,000km servicing is coming up. I skipped my 5K servicing by SA and did it myself. I was wondering if I bring my own oil and my Fumoto valve for my 10k km servicing, SA will install this valve for me? I also noticed that the valve comes with a fibre washer, not a copper one like the one on our drain plug. Those guys who have installed it, what washer did you use? Comments please. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear January 20, 2005 Share January 20, 2005 I used the fibre washer. No leaks so far. I installed it myself. When screwed in with the fibre washer, it is sort of nice in the right direction with the tap facing up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus 3rd Gear January 23, 2005 Share January 23, 2005 i think this valve replace the plug under the engine sump, so that during engine oil change, just need to turn open the valve instead of having to turn open the plug. much quicker and less messy this way.

Genie47 1st Gear January 23, 2005 Share January 23, 2005 Not to forget worn threads from over enthusiastic mechanics screwing the plug too tight. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
