Now you have to wait to change your oil to install the fumoto.Then when you can use it (what a rush).

Just make sure your oil is warm before you drain with the fumoto valve otherwise it will drain very sloooooooooow. it took 1.5 hours to drain my wifes freestar. Should have warmed it up to drain but then still needed to let it cool to remove the filter as it is right beside the cat not a good design.

Dieselsite is a great company. I bought my Fumoto valve and coolant filter from them... great pricing and fast shipping.

Do not worry about the Fumoto valve. No one looks under the truck anyways and only people familur with it would know what it is... and as a percentage of the trucks out there... they are not that common anyways.

I have never hit or broken it when in weeds, snow or running over small animals when they jump out in front of me!!!!

AMEN to what BBC said. I've got the Fumoto valve and I'm not the least bit worried about someone crawling under the truck and draining my oil out. Also they would need a pair of pliers to squeeze the snap ring and remove it. And lastly, if someone did drain the oil, don't you think you'd notice 14 quarts of oil under and around your truck?
Install the valve and enjoy clean, hassel free oil changes. No more fishing for the plug out of the drain pan. Plus it make it really sweet to take your oil sample and send it into Blackstone Labs.
