Fumoto 103sx

Did the initial oil change and while I was under there, added the Fumoto valve.

And goodness, the oil comes out of this engine like a racehorse pees. The Fumoto valve will be a welcome addition on the next change. My oil bucket was choking on the drop volume.
For anyone getting one, mind that you’ll need to order the hose and snap separately.

 

I know alot of peeps swear by these, but I just can't have anything that large hanging down from my oil pan. Its not happening. So, instead, I'll just have oil splatter everywhere.

 

It’s really not as big as it seems in the pic. Still out of the away

 

It hides nicely under the skid If you have one. I run them on everything even the blower and generator. Never had an issue.

 

Take a look at the https://www.valvomax.com/products/m12-1-25-quick-twist-valve-with-stainless-drain-tube-knob
It's lower profile, doesn't use the valve open/close lever, and has a screw on cap for peace of mind.
I've used Fumoto on past vehicles, but the Valvomax gives me a better feeling of not dumping the oil if I were to run over something.

 

2.5 gen here. Installed ValvoMax on my last oil change. Definitely a high quality product.

 

At least on mine, the valve is behind the skid plate. Something gets to it, the valve is least of my concern.

 

I love mine, best investment ever.

 

This made me search up people's reviews on these valves. This is the first video I watched.

 

I've had one on every vehicle I've owned, including the FJ in the avatar. <-

Never had an issue with one of them.

 

They are a little slower, but the cleaner drain is well worth it…especially if there is any breeze.

 

That's the truth. If i get through my 10GA steel plate, we have other problems.

 

On the Tundra it's still above your crossmember so, unless you are regularly bashing your undercarriage, yes you can have it "hanging down" without any issue.

 

I have a Fumoto, too and love it. Since we have a lot of ground clearance there is room for the long nipple version that holds the drain hose on better. And especially for anyone with a front skid it is a no brainer to get the long one.

I have the Fumoto 133 and it does not hang down lower than my RCI skid plate.

 

Yup. The skid mounts to the bottom of the crossmember, and the valve sits well above that.

 

Not even close. There are many inches of clearance.
