[@geraldmyers6605]

Scotty is definitely one of the most intellectual KZbin mechanics, and I value his opinions and knowledge, and I am definitely looking into one of these oil drain valves

[@DataLog]

This system is very flawed. The valve reduces the flow, which prevents all particulates from being pulled out of the oil pan with the oil.

[@utid1957]

These types of drains have been used on aircraft for years. I didn’t know one was available for my vehicles. This looks like a high quality one with more than one way to seal. I’m going to get mine on order today. Thanks Scotty

I drive nearly 1,000 miles (1,600km) each week. Bought this same brand based on Scotty's review. Easy to install, ensure that you torque the valve to manufacturer specs. I got tired of the original way...quickly! The plastic bag over the filter works out good also. Edit: I also keep the original plug in the glovebox and a 15mm wrench, just in case the valve fails.

Subaru filter on the top of the engine

[@x2xtreme360]

You mean like a cartridge style oil filter? Or like Subaru with it on the top of the engine?

[@nokieng6502]

x2xtreme360 Subaru Outback (and other models I’m sure) has a top of the engine oil filter canister. Pop open the hood. To the right of the valve cover and next to the oil filler cap is the oil filter. Only issue is u cannot pre-fill the canister with fresh oil prior to installing like u can if the canister was screwed on from the bottom of the engine. Being top mounted it unscrews with no oil mess since all the oil that was in it has returned to the oil pan. I believe Porsche, BMW, and other cars have the same set up.

[@stevenbolen1702]

I’ve been thinking about these lately. My friend has one with spring valve. I wasn’t sold on it and wondered if there was something better. You definitely looked this one over and pointed out some good points. Thanks for the product review.

[@tonycastellano9322]

I've used the Fumoto valve for years without any problems but I'll keep this one in mind next time. Thx for showing me i have an option.

[@heathjones7002]

I looked at the Fumoto valve before I made the Valvo Max purchase. 2 things that made me go with Valvo Max. 1: Looked like the Fumoto was brass, I was worried that it would be susceptible to damage from road debris being soft metal. 2: I was concerned that the lever might lose a pin or break off. Maybe not the case in actuality, but if I'm laying down $30, and traveling as much as I do. I don't take any chances. I also keep the original plug in the glovebox, wrench and 5 quarts of oil just in case.

[@jihomet7607]

Got a fumoto valve for my 2008 duramax best thing you can have on a diesel .

[@harrycallahan9733]

Same here, been using Fumoto since 2005 or 2006, on total of 4 cars (two of them I don't own anymore). When I first learned about Fumoto I found that they sold a simple clip you could put around the lever to prevent it from being knocked open by accident. I tried it without the clip, and found the valve never opened by itself. Of course I only drive on the road, never do any off roading. So I never bothered installing that little clip :)

[@rhdtv2002]

I've had one for years...takes longer to.drain oil but no big deal

[@tw157059]

Same, and should I ever bring my car to the shop, they can change the oil as well with the fumoto valve. And somehow I am sure, that when I would use this valve, it would probably take me longer to find the that drainhose, than it would to remove the carter plug.

The oil dumped in only a few seconds. The Citroën transaxle was the same design as on DS/ID cars so it had more normal drain and fill plugs like 21mm hex head, 14mm threads.

I've had a FRAM suredrain system for years which is pretty much thw same thing and it works great and leaves no mess however if it has been left for a while it can be hard to get the dust cap off so it might be an idea to file down two sides of it or something so you can get a tool onto it to grip it better, but i definitely recommend it if you dont want oil pissing everywhere during an oil change

[@dyoel182]

That's what I was thinking. Fram was selling these 15 years ago.

[@talknheadz]

Squirrel Meat pipe wrench will remove any bolt..rounded or not

[@ohyea2723]

I just installed an easy drain valve and glad I did. I never wanna deal with a service station or oil change station ever again in my life. They use to put that bolt on so tight that it would be impossible to take it off and change your own oil. Every car on the planet should have one of these easy drain valves changing your oil takes 5 mins it’s truly an incredible item I’m glad I found. Don’t neglect your car and it will always treat you good the first thing is religiously change your oil even if you use full synthetic oil every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. This makes makes changing your oil a snap.

[@genxmurse7019]

Wow! That device looks very similar to what some of us used on the Oshkosh Mk.48 LVS, along with other vehicles & equipment. Back in my military days, (25 years ago) it had no official nomenclature and certainly wasn't a standard issue item. Apparently, it was acquired by some of the NCO Marines working in the motorpool who had close ties with the machinists. They were very proactive and constantly thinking of ways to improvise tools & methods to enhance performance of equipment, as well as workshop efficiency. There were a lot of Navy Achievement Medals earned back then!

You joke, but there are plans to make oil changes done with a cartridge type system. No longer owner capable as you have to go to a dealer and it's hooked up to the cars computer so it has to be set and match as a oem part. Their excuse is people using the wrong oil and causing too many warranty issues.

[@robertcollier5529]

[@anon2414]

stickloaf luckily my filter is at the bottom and faces down...I just poke a hole with a screw driver and drain it before removal

[@lezlethal]

That's a good idea never thought of that. Mine faces down also, it's not too messy. I just let it drop down in the pan, then wipe any oil from the frame.

[@robs1852]

I agree! Depending on the car, the placement of the filter really sucks when you have to remove it. Basically side-mounted and near the exhaust manifold makes it impossible to not make a mess. The drain plug is always at the bottom and easy to control

[@IIGrayfoxII]

Same. On my imp the filter is near the exhaust headers and that is where the mess comes from, normally a bit when unscrewing and the most when lowing the filter down, this is why I use a large rag to soak up all the oil.

[@jeahya22]

I come up through the bottom and have someone hold a plastic grocery store bag by the handles. When I'm under the car, just grab and twist the filter through the bag till it's free and have the person let go of handles so I can pull filter and bag down to me. Whatever mess ends up in the bag. Did that make sense?

[@danarussell4246]

Bought 2 of these after seeing Scotty’s video years ago for the wife’s Forester and my Ford Transit. Best thing ever to help with oil changes. Will be buying them for my new 4Runner and Ascent.

[@stanwood7427]

A few issues to watch out for. First is the valve isn't as free-flowing as removing the original drain plug so if there is sludge or metal filings, they won't come out as easily. On that note, most OEM plugs have a magnetic end which pulls fine metal out of the oil. Other point is many mechanics and "lube and go" shops won't touch a third party drain plug for fear of being blamed for leakage. I have a fumoto petcock valve on my car for over 8 years, it works great, never leaks, but I don't have the diagnostic of a magnetic plug and I can't find a shop willing to change the oil as an option to doing it myself.

[@BrianMcKinny]

I've seen the old petcock valve ones before, but this is the first time I've seen this new version. I think I'm going to have to buy one and install it on my Jeep Grand Cherokee! It'll sure make changing my oil that much easier and a lot less messy! :)

[@spelunkerd]

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if it could be used in the situation where one has stripped the threads in the pan. Normal approach is a new pan, since the depth of the threads may not be enough for a Helicoil. Instead of replacing the pan, you could try to glue this into place with JB weld. If it works, you've saved the cost of a new pan, if it doesn't work you have to replace the pan anyway....

[@markypolo55]

Yeah, or go Metric instead ( in case of a SAE thread), or SAE in case of a Metric bolt.The difference in size is minuscule and only removes small amount of material. Of course, you are going to need the Tap and Die sets ( which may offset the cost of a new pan ( if you have to buy them).

[@wildbill23c]

For the cost of a replacement engine just buy a new oil pan, far cheaper than an engine replacement wondering if your attempted JB weld repair will or will not work LOL.

+Eric sin: If you are doing your own oil changes, you could cut open your oil filter to see if there are MORE EXPENSIVE bits of metal. If you found them, you would probably seek a second opinion about the condition of your engine. If you have been driving the car for a long time, you would probably know WHY those EXPENSIVE bits were in your oil pan. I have a truck with 320K miles on it. Runs great. a year ago, found small bits of metal in it, and replaced my worn down timing chain & gear set. Hint: it was noisy too. Otherwise, some folks probably would just decide to cut their losses, and trade the vehicle.

The expensive bits of metal (bearing shells, aluminium shavings) aren't magnetic...

Wow Scotty this is amazing, i am deffanitly going to have to get one!!!!!!! You are my most trusted mechanic! Thanks again for another awesome video, cant wait for whats next!!!

Awesome video! I ordered one of these for a handicap friend and it has made her life so much easier.

[@joej7473]

What happens with the magnetic sump plugs that get all the loose metal shavings?

[@lcee6592]

Joe J you can get a good magnet 🧲 from a hobby store and stick it right under the drain hole. Then remove it when you drain the oil and put it back when done. If you have an aluminum oil pan put the magnet at the end of your oil filter.

[@racheat]

With 340,000 on my 07 civic, going ~8-10,000 miles between changes of full synthetic, I've never thought of that...wondering if it really matters since there is a filter. Interesting idea to consider. Transmissions, absolutely.

[@crpth1]

@@racheat - It's always worth. In my "good" condition cars only a minute amount of ferrous metal powder get stuck in the magnet. More in the first application, much less on further oil changes. But either case better them be in the magnet than inside the engine. On the other hand some 30 years ago, VW Beetle air cooled, no oil filter, pretty beaten up engine. First time I used the magnet I was shocked with the amount of metal particles. Quantity and size of the particles was quite staggering. Highly reduced in subsequent oil changes. Have been using it for the past 30 years. Highly advised beside stays between very cheap and totally free. ;-)

[@lesterthejester8508]

Wont the metal shavings get jammed in the small valve opening?

[@crpth1]

@@lesterthejester8508- To what "valve opening" are you referring to?

[@OverlandTT]

Fantastic product 👍 Brilliant channel for an honest mechanic. Enjoyed Scotty's channel for years now 💛

[@GeoffPesos]

Those have been used on construction equipment for ages. Its just technology that trickles down to the consumer over time.

[@TheStevester2]

Zoinks great

[@wildbill23c]

Yep. Many lawn and garden tractors and some larger tractors have had them for decades...this device isn't new, just a slightly different design on many other versions.

[@christopherbateman9692]

Same product maybe but different design different patent. Just like things get made new every year. Just like a new phone comes out every year and a new car comes out every year. Come on people bashing a new invention.

[@Larrlos]

They're called eco drains on Volvo construction equipment

[@Larrlos]

John Deere machines with Isuzu engines also use them

[@Lhenry-pf5zn]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Scotty. I have cursed the oil filter change on my 2012 Camry for 200,000 kms. I would love to meet the Toyota engineer or exec who came up with that stupid idea. In fact I wish someone like you would start a class action suit against Toyota just on this problem. Thank you for the solution, I will order a Baxter for my next oil change, keep up the great work. PS. A little tip, I put grip tape on my oil filters before I install them and a sticker with the oil change date as well.

It’s kind of ironic! I was searching KZbin for a oil changing valve and your video came up Scotty. So glad I did because I do trust your judgment so I bought two of them. One for my van and one for my truck.

Great video Scotty! Keeps my driveway and the planet a lot cleaner! Thanks!

[@heavenscape]

What I found is that draining oil does not cause a mess, the real mess comes from removing the oil filter since it's facing downward on my car. Oil inside the filter will leak everywhere once the filter become loose, and it takes more than 20 turns to get it off.

[@Jiiks]

Punch a hole in the filter

[@victorescobar7437]

It doesnt come out the filter when you drain the oil from the system? That sucks.

[@evan8tor21]

Heavenscape yikes. When you install the new filter , you only need to make one and three quarters of a turn. Shouldn’t take that much effort to remove, especially if you put some oil on the gasket before installing the new filter. Try that next time you install one and see if it helps when getting it off

[@ajayrajaa4117]

My car is also same; with oil filter facing down. Only good thing is that any debris in the filter will never drain back into engine in that case. Thus it makes an engine last longer. The oil filters that drain back into engine also let dirt back in. Think about it!

[@Xx_Sterbern_xX]

I use a grocery plastic bag and place it over the filter to minimize spillage

[@lorenray9479]

My vortex is great! Just pinch drain line to fill with oil, getting air out gives the oil head pressure. The pan only has a few inches of push. The 12 inch drain line will quickly drain warm or hot oil! The guys that cut the hose at 3 inches are cursing slow drain. Lol

[@akbychoice]

That is so much better than the petcock Design. Kind of similar to hydraulic connectors.

[@MIMC16]

Hey scotty! I love your videos and always press the thumbs up! I never changed my oil by myself, but if i do win this, i will start doing it! Kudos to you man! Keep up the good work!

[@quimrider1]

Scotty this isn't new. Fram had the SureDrain years ago. not sure why they discontinued it but it was one of the best things I ever bought. Glad to see someone is making a similar product again.

[@chrisbiz6408]

Triangles1 probably worth reflecting on that for a second ... why would they stop selling a system like that ? Perhaps it’s not worth the small convenience for the potential damage to your car

[@richboutin4044]

I had one too. It was okay, but certainly not something to get excited about. Only Saved minimal time really, and the tube would shoot oil around easily if lightly bumped by your hand.

[@woooweee]

Only theoretical damage is if you bottom out. The main problem with those was that the hollow screw likely stuck out into the drain pan some ways, so it would stop draining to the bottom of the pan, furthermore I found that it heavily slowed the flow, the valves diameter is much smaller than the original hole, never mind the huge and misleading hose, and the entire point is to clean out as much gunk as possible with fast flow of hot oil from a hot engine. I eventually lost mine when I got a new car, never bothered to get another one. Its one of those things which is better in theory than practice. If they had integrated this type of valve but larger into the design of an oil pan then yes, maybe it would make sense

[@erictold]

I guess there might be warranty issues. Particles or sludge will not come out well because of the small passage, or the valve could fail because the particles. I don’t want to take risk for a tiny convenience.

[@pickles5150]

You are too cool. Bought one for my Rolls Canhardly...rolls down one hill, can hardly get up the next. Ba dump bump. Works great with so little effort.

For those that are worried about threading their drain plug on correctly, here's a device with three sets of threads!

[@tedk9144]

Installed one on my V6 4Runner a few years ago and between the Sure Drain Valve and the OEM oil filter placement with drain tray, I can do a fluid/filter change pretty quickly and with no mess. The 6 grease fittings on the axle take some time, but that is typically every other oil change.

[@joshbacon8241]

This might take the world of oil changing by storm!

[@MinerLOLZ]

[@wildbill23c]

Probably not similar devices have been around for decades in one form or another...hell even many riding mowers and some larger tractors have this same device.

[@christopherbateman9692]

I believe that Scotty has warned against cheap aftermarket parts especially made in China so I would steer clear of putting Chinese Parts on your car

[@MinerLOLZ]

Christopher Bateman he also warnes about buying cars with turbos.. simple things like this are perfect for China

[@wildbill23c]

A leaking oil drain plug is the least of my worries with my 88 Ford Bronco 2, it leaks oil from everywhere LOL...on a side note the undercarriage is rustproofed LOL. Hey Scotty, have you had any experience with those coolant system flush kits? You cut a heater hose and splice in a T with a garden hose fitting. Simply hook up the garden hose and turn it on and flush the cooling system. Do those actually work, or is there a better way?

[@yourhandlehere1]

For me it's worked pretty good. I've had one on my 68 Corolla for years and years. If you flush it every two or three years it never gets very bad. This ones tiny so I usually do it every spring (and shut off the heater core for the summer). If it's really gunked up there are several steps to take (and I think different strengths). Good water pressure helps too.

[@wildbill23c]

Hmm, thanks, been thinking about adding one to my 2 vehicles. Also looking at this oil drain plug conversion idea as well...although the drain plug isn't the issue its the location of the oil filter on one of my vehicles that makes a person want to strangle the idiot who thought that was a great location LOL.

[@freakasis]

Google "oil filter relocation kit"

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Robert D and for kicks , google Fumoto valve for another drain option. I never had a problem with em, but it wouldn’t be too cool on a pan with the drain on the bottom. We use em on generators and use a liquivac to pull out 2 gallons in about 30 seconds.

[@walterwallace1328]

Everything is well lubricated on the underside.

[@lyf45mo]
