Was watchin speedvision today (dreamcar garge) and there was a commercial on for the fram sure drain. If you haven't seen it, it replaces your oil bolt with a different one that is like a valve thing, and the oil comes out when you screw on the drain tube so you dont get "burnt by the hot oil". Just wondering if anyone had this. I don't plan on getting one, its not that hard to unbolt the plug , i was just curious as to if anybody used it.

Have any of you guys with the 02's tried to change your own oil yet? That oil filter is a mother to get out. Its like a friggin puzzle. LoL

 

Harley#356,

I have replaced my oil drain plug with a fumoto valve the first time I changed my oil. I have this oil drain valve on all of my vehicles and find it to be easy to use. It has a brass body with a stainless steel ball valve that is operated by a lever. Check out the website at: http://www.fumotovalve.com

As far as the oil filter, it has been repositioned to be right beside the drain plug hole and is very easy to remove and install.

 

ah, you guys are lucky then. I'll try and get a pic of mine, and a pic of my friend's 02 so you can see the difference betweent the positions then. Mine is on the drivers side up above the A arm kinda. They even have a drip pan on a part of the frame cuz its such a b!tch to get out. LoL
