Which Fumoto valve should I order?

My truck is about due for its first oil change. I want to order a Fumoto valve but I was curious which one you guys are using. Should I get the one with no nipple, short nipple, long nipple, or elbow? Any experiences with what you are using would help. Thanks in advance.

Skip the Fumoto and get the EZ Drain. It's a better design. Find your part number here and order on Amazon...

Get the L hose end. Also once you have valve see if you can get one of the hose clips to lock the lever in place. No, not say is needed nor the valve will pop open. To me is just insurance for a buck or less.

They can't open on their own. Never been one reported incident of that happening.

I have them on my vehicles.
There is a greater chance of Miley Cyrus and I marrying, than the EZ valve opening up by accident.

If mine opens on it's own, I'm hoping for an Emily Ratajkowski proposal....

No, sadly not.
I would like to....my gf probably would have an issue with it.
She is my celebrity crush though.
When we met, it blew me away how nice she is.
Spent a few hours with her and truly one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting!

Per the EZ Drain site, they suggest it for off road....but for a buck, is cheap insurance...and who is to say one might not have the drain fully closed once????

We suggest passengers not unlatch the doors and try to open it and jump out while in cruise flight. The reality is that they couldn't do it if they tried.
For fun oneday i tried to open the door at only 100 knots which is under a normal cruise speed and no way could i open it.
But in the manual they say its a possibility and so warn against it.
