I've had one on my truck for a little more then a year with no problems at all. Makes changing your oil just a wee bit easier

Not a bad product for 25 bucks.

You'll love it! I have one on my diesel and one on my 5.4L. They are a great little invention.

For added security, I use a tiny nylon tie on mine. The tie fits perfectly into the groove and prevents the lever from being lifted out of the locked position. I doubt that it is necessary, but I hate surprises.

hcmq, installation is a breeze. Remove the old drain plug, let the oil drain, then screw the Fumoto valve into the open hole and tighten it up. Project complete!
