skid plate tips

For the Fumoto I used the

$40 F133N with LC-10 F-Series Large Body FUMOTO® Valve with Long Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for M12-1.25

F133N. This has the long nipple. There are other models including ones with adjustable nipples. Go to Fumoto website and punch in make/model/year and you can see the options.

Can't speak to the other types/manufacturers. Every style has some positives and negatives. I like the Fumoto because I am familiar with it and it does not require a seperate piece to function.

 

Your other option:

Imo, it is kinda bulky. Don't loose the screw in draining valve or you will have an unhappy situation. No worries with fumoto since no extra part needed to drain the oil.
You got options. Pick your poison.

 

You guys have skid plates?

 

Does this rattle like mad?

 

Yes

 

I installed the

$40 Fumoto F133N with LC-10 F-Series Large Body FUMOTO® Valve with Long Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for M12-1.25

Fumoto F133N on my last oil change but have the Valvomax ready to install on my next. It's slightly a bit more bulky than fumoto but it feels like it's built with great quality. Watch enough review videos on YT and that'll help you decide which to get.

 

Appreciate the feedback. One of the biggest pro's for me is to be able to add a hose and route that fluid. In that case, the F133S sounds like the one I want

 

I would get this hose adapter so you can hook up your hose to it.

That is unecessary given you can attach a hose to the long nipple of the F133N.

Even comes with a hose on Amazon

Very true. But if he opted for the shorter nipple version, then it would be needed.

 

Not sure what advantage the short/no nipple models have for this use.

 

Aesthetic really.. the longer nipple looks funny to me. But that's just my opinion.
I have the no nipple version on the wife's rav4 and works just fine.

 

Seriously? LOL How often are you you looking at it?

 

Lol..dude, it only take 1 look, that will get stuck in your head forever. Like those things you just cant unsee.

 

Are we still talking about the nipples of a Fumoto orrr.....

 

Lol..this got derailled rather quick..
Back to topic now .

 

It is very helpful. Did this to my last truck and this one, With Fumoto valve and Motivx oil change kit, oil changes are a lot less painful and messy

 

Not at all.

 

If you damage a Fumoto or other valve, due to it's location, you've more than likely damaged a lot more stuff and probably worse.

 

Mine has done fine on Hells Revenge, Imogene Pass, and Broken Arrow.

 

True. That's why i like my Talon Garage skid plate. It covers the valve and to the side also

 

Another RCI skid and Fumoto owner. I also got clips for the Fumoto that prevent accidental opening.

 

RCI Skidplate is on the list, Probably after the Dirty Deeds 10". Fumoto make oil changes much less messy

 

That Dirty Deeds 10 is a keeper. It growls when I get on it and is not loud in normal driving. I would probably get better gas mileage with stock. But, growls are more fun!
