Fumoto oil drain valve

[westcoaST]

You need to purchase an extension for the Fiesta ST, otherwise the Fumoto valve won't fit. The Fumoto valve comes with a washer. This is the only one you need. Check out my build thread for part numbers. I'm also using the plastic lock

How often are you driving? Is the fist your daily? Another question or concern is how it would work at -30 Celsius

[MENTION=4706]skidro87[/MENTION] its on my daily driver that I do 150mile a day (200km). Dod not have any issues at -38 c this winter. Changed the oil when warm to have good flow. Great product.

Today I finally installed my Fumoto valve. I've had these on many other vehicles. The valve is no lower than the oil pan so scraping isn't an issue. Plus my traction bars should protect everything.

A common misconception is that the threads of these valves stick into the oil pan and therefore don't allow a full drain. The truth is that the threads are exactly 10mm long which is about the thickness of the female pan threads. So the only possible oil that would be left in the drain pan is about 2mm high which is the thickness of the thread metal, if that makes sense. Multiply that by the entire parameter of the pan and you get maybe one ounce, if that. Change the oil when it's hot and most of it will drain out including any solids.

A few pics and a video I posted might sell some of these...second pics shows how the valve does not hang down past the oil pan.
