Installed Fumoto
Changed the oil this morning, on the snow covered drive, and installed the Fumoto valve with the ring. I change oil over 8 times a year and this should really help make it easier.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

8 times a year? That is a lot of driving. I think that should help you with changing the oil. I am thinking about doing the same thing. I don't offroad so I should be good. How many miles do you change your oil?

I had 13 oil changes the first year I had Nyx. I didn't do it though, since I bought an unlimited lifetime oil change plan from the dealership where I got here. $700 for that plan, but their average time for an oil change is about 1.5hrs!!! I stopped using it since I'm running synthetic now, and they'll only do Rotella 15W40 dino oil. Plus they were just so SLOW!! With the time lost from work, it's cheaper & less frustrating to do it myself, and then I don't give up the keys either. I may need to get a Fumoto soon...

I just open the Fumoto valve, punch a hole in the bottom tof the filter, and let'm drain into my 5 gallon drain pan. The used oil doesn't touch my hands. Makes for a 'cleaner' oil change. 
Everyone should do this.
