Fumoto Valve Installation

Could it be that the oil pan has been repaired in the past and it has a thread other than oem? Just throwing that out.

If it was repaired it may not even have a metric thread anymore. I would take the drain plug that came out of it to a hardware or parts store and double check the thread size/pitch. Unless you have a thread gauge etc.

Also, I put a F133S in my 2008 after I installed a new oem pan. The 133 is an updated version of the 103.

 

The Fumoto should thread in just eggzactly like the factory drain bolt. They should make SWEET SWEET LOVE.

 

i just put on one of these with the short nipple when i did my first oil change. Love it. Have had it on every vehicle i owned. I use a hose to the drain pan. Helps alot to have oil warm and the cap off. i let it drain 15-20 minutes and its more than enough time.

 

I think this may be dumb but, did you use a crush washer when you installed the Fumoto? Thanks

 

I used the washer that it was supplied with not a crush washer.

I like the new design, might have to get this.
