They say this fits the 6.7l but I would do some more checking.

Neither look right for our application because our plug is a quarter turn plastic thing, right?
Now I searched for 2012 and this one comes up. Different number. Last search was 2011.

And more confusing.

I thought 2011 to 2013 were same size. They show one size for 2011 and another size for the 2012/2013.
I highly recommend nobody try this at home. Google is messing with me.

Fumoto stopped making their oil drain valve for the 6.7 awhile ago. I think there was some obstacles because they were retrofitting the original Ford valve. (Prior to that decision, they did make them.) The links in the prior post show a different valve--one that I don't think fits the 6.7 diesel.
However, I am quite sure I have one I am not using. If you are interested, let me know and I will confirm if I, in fact, do have one.

As to your second question, "why aren't you using it?"
First, this discontinued Fumoto creation doesn't look like the usual Fumoto valves. It was the Ford OEM drain plug with a Fumoto valve screwed in to it. Therefore, it has two sections: the OEM and the Fumoto.
I liked the discontinued Fumoto 6.7 valve, because of Fumoto's ease of draining. And, I have been using standard Fumotos for more than 10 years on all our vehicles.
My final or current take, however, is the OEM is acceptable--since I now know how to remove it without spilling as the oil rushs out of the pan. So for that main reason, I set the Fumoto on the shelf and use the OEM instead. I suppose I should add the oil drains much faster with the OEM than with the Fumoto.
It appears to me you assumed, as I once did, the 6.7 Fumoto would look just like all the others--it didn't--it is added to the OEM.
Fumoto could, perhaps, make one for the 6.7, but Fumoto might have concluded it would be not worth the expense of creating a much larger valve. Larger is needed, because of the much larger oil pan opening.
about the valve.
I hope that clarifies my conclusions. Of course, I still have the Fumoto 6.7 available!!!

Ok Thanks, that does answer my questions. Could you post or link a photo of what it looks like? If you can't do it easily don't worry about it. Sounds like i would reach the same conclusion as you. Shame they don't make a regular style one. They might drain a little slower but I never got oil on my hand when using one and that's a good enough trade off for me!

Oh that's a great idea! Keep us posted. Like I said I haven't even looked under it yet, only got 1000 miles on it. I had no idea it was a huge weird plug

thats a creative solution. You saying the stock pan is plastic? I really gotta look under there but ive been so busy with work. Is it easily changeable? is that price for the fumoto valve or for the metal pan?

Midway through 2012 they changed from a composite oil pan to a conventional metal one with a drain plug similar to what's been used for the last 100 years. It doesn't surprise me that an existing Fumoto valve would work with the metal pan; they don't use a unique drain plug size for each different vehicle! Those with the plastic oil pan have a plastic drain plug that's nearly 1" wide that can be installed and removed by hand.
