Has anyone tried the Fumoto Qwikvalve on their vehicle?

[shadowarrior]

Have one for my FTO, and love it. Was going to order one for the Challenger.

Think F106N (for the nipple model) should fit the Challenger, need to confirm this .

Just done my first oil change with the tap fitted. So much easier & cleaner and by using the drain plug on an oil filter filter supplied by Cullens it was 'No mess Charlie'. Best way to go as you can shut off flow to change drain pans before they become too full and slop all over the place. With the adapter it does sit a bit lower but I have just cut a hole in the bash plate so I can operate the lock & that saves having to remove the bash plate to do an oil change. A win-win situation all round in my opinion.

Hi guys
thinking of getting this one here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fumoto-O...kkxs:rk:1:pf:0


says i need an adaptor AL-106?

[Kingbrown]

Fumoto valve fits my PB Challenger without an adaptor.

Adaptor/extension is only required if the vehicle's existing drain plug is recessed.

Question:
The standard sump plug uses a crush washer part number 'MD050317' & the Fumoto uses an o ring seal (360 model F106SX) ... how/ what did you use between pan and the Fumoto?
What part number Fumoto? as I'm keen to install one, Though I have the ARB bash plate installed so not sure of access/ clearance.
Currently looking at the F106SX as swap out + ' ? ' to interface to the sump.

How has the Fumoto stood out for time with the O rings? Do you off road/ had any troubles with the retaining clip staying on/ perishing or loosing tension?

Cheers

I fitted one to my NW about 3 months ago. Drilled a 50mm hole in the Bushskinz bashplate. . Also have a 300m extension hose that screws into the valve when I,m ready to do an oil change. Now I can leave the bashplate on and by carefully removing the oil filter I have a clean oil change... Use a rag around the filter as I have been known to drop a little oil..

Nice!
I'm just looking at drilling the plate .... online now (looking for a swivel plate to cover the hole to protect the valve)
Q: was it the swivel type SX? as you say the hose screwed into it. How is the lock holding out.
I just dont want to have an engine knock when half way to no where, with a long black trail behind me as the fatal clue.

My drain valve (purchased 2012) is a F-106N. It has a nipple (N), onto which I slip my hose ;-)

The swivelling version (S) hadn't been introduced back then.

I used a copper washer to seal the valve against the sump. Don't recall there being an O ring but my memory is fading.

No sign on leakage from mine.

Plenty of outback touring on some pretty ordinary tracks. About 60% of my 150000km would be on the dirt. No problem with the valve.

The operating lever of the valve has to be pushed over a detent before it can then be turned into the open position. Plenty secure enough for me.

The hole in my bashplate is only the size of a garden hose. No need for me to have anything bigger.

Same as Dicko, I drilled a 50mm hole in my Bushskinz bashplate. Been using the valve for about 2 years with no probs. I use a small 200mm piece of clear hose on the valve when changing oil to direct the oil into a pan. Oil runs out slower than standard but gets there in the end. It all lives up above the bashplate

Just ordered the F106SX from USA ($40AU), so will wait for its arrival via UPS
Different set up with o'ring seal, not washer.

Eggs ach ery!!

I got mine after watching a guy on YouTube who was using them on his backhoe so he could take small amounts out to get oil analysis done.
