changing oil through dip stick
i bought one from groits garage, and it works great, the reason is i have a bud built full under carrige skid plate that makes it really hard to change oil
so far im pretty pleased with it- any comments would be appreciated on using this

I've run a fumoto valve for the last thousand miles or so. No leaks, no problems, except that they are a bit slow to drain. But I'd rather wait a half hour inside my warm house on a cold day while my old oil drains through a tube, past my skids, straight into a container than have it done in five but have to remove little bolts and get all oily...

ive seen those futomoto valves and have not ever seen a better made valve than that. they also come with with clips to stop them from opening when they are not supposed. I would deffinetly trust my oil with one of those little valves after all they are made in japan!

So how do like the tool? I guess it can work for an auto trans too. Is it quick and does a warm engine help the flow like the traditional way?

I bought one of these air operated ones. We have a Generator that they placed so close to the wall that you can`t get a drain pain in. They had been draining the oil on the floor.
I sucked all the oil out then opened the drain valve to make sure it was all drained out..
Less mess for sure. Like all other it is still best todo any oil change with warm oil.
