My first oil change was an environmental disaster. It was like changing the diaper on a new born. Not anymore! With this oil change I eagerly broke the package and replaced the drain plug with the Fumoto F-107N for my 2008 Acadia. The flange on the oil pan was just a bit too intrusive and the last turn did take an extra "umph" that relieved my fear that it was too big to fit. With the Fumoto F-107N in place I tested my reach from the front of the vehicle and can turn the Fumoto F-107N on and off minus the ramps. What fun now to pop the hood. change the filter and with a short tube attached drain the old oil with a twist. No mess! How much is this worth to me? Every penny, and my neighbors smile thinking I've finally mastered mechanics. I'll tell them April first.

An update to my first oil change with the Fumoto F-107N.

A question:"Would it leak?" was answered; no, not a drop! Then, the watch was on reading the percentage of oil life left from the Oil Life Monitor System. A notice from my dealer called for a change 2 months before the message, "change oil" prompted action with the Fumoto F-107N. A scant 2 inches necessitated some spare lumber for clearance to place the empty oil container with a short piece of tubing from the Fumoto F-107N. From the front of my 2008 Acadia the arms reach was perfect and the oil pan hot, hot, hot. I used an old rag to turn the Fumoto F-107N on, and let it drain. With the new filter and oil added I capped the old oil and stored the tube. Total time under my vehicle to operate the Fumoto F-107N -20 seconds (I'm slow) Did I miss messing with the oil plug and catch pan; no. Am I happy with the Fumoto F-107N, you betcha!

I installed one of these valves on my F150 w/ Ecoboost to assist with draining oil, my oil pan won't catch oil from both drain plug and filter a the same time-they are to far apart, with this valve I plan to use a short piece of hose attached to valve to make oil changes a lot neater.

The valve went on easy,I had to buy an adapter for mounting clearance.

The best part is I won't have to haul a wrench under truck while changing oil

A perfect solution to the uncontrolled oil drainage on the Ford F150 with EcoBoost motor. The first oil change (without the Fumoto installed) was an oily mess. This valve makes it much more manageable. The valve appears to be of good quality. I didn't need the adapter and if installed it would cause interference with the transmission to cooler lines.

I would recommend this product to anyone who does their own oil changes.

Honest reviews on Fumoto F-107N Engine Oil Drain Valve

My 3rd vehicle to have one, wouldn't own a vehicle without it!! You dont need the additional adapter fitting for the Ecoboost in the F150, fits great and is easily accessible without it.

now i can do my oil changes without any wrenches.

im worried about clearance issues a little bit, since the valve and hose nipple sit ~1.5" lower than the drain plug.

i also placed a vacuum cap over the nipple for added dirt protection

Reviews of 2" Oil Filled Pressure Gauge - SS/Br 1/4" NPT Lower Mount, 0-100PSI

Great gauge, accurate and needle moves smoothly without any jerkiness common with non-oil filled gauges. Using with a Gast diaphragm vacuum pump to vacuum pack food items in canning jars with a FoodSaver T03-0023-01 Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer. Note: the photo is not the actual item but a pressure gauge. The vacuum gauge looks similar but 0 Hg is on the right side and 30 Hg (max) is on the left so the pointer moves counterclockwise as the Hg increases.

It looks nice and the movement is nice and smooth. The oil dampens the jerkyness that you see at times on gauges, nice clean unit.

The display is easy to read, the metal casing is much more sturdy than the plastic unit I had previously, and it works as described.

the gauge arrived and feels of good quality, oil filled and sturdy. I mistakenly needed 1/8" npt, so I ran over to the hardware store and adapted it down to 1/8" from 1/4" npt. My application is for reading nitrogen/oil emulsion pressure in some off road racing shocks and it works well for this. Since it's rated for oils, the mixture of nitrogen and shock oil shouldn't impact it.

I have used Fram & WIX filters for around 30 years. If you read the facts on these filters at various web sites you will find an on-going argument that will never end. You should also see that the WIX filter media is fiberglass vs Fram which is paper. The media in square inches is also larger on the WIX vs the Fram and that should relate to less back presure on the WIX. Now, with all that said, as an engineer, the WIX should be superior based on just those two simple facts. In my personal 30 year experience with several Jeeps, Trans Ams, and other vehicles, I have NEVER had a problem with a Fram filter. The WIX is a little more expensive and I have bought these for winter oil changes thinking that this back presure advantage would be better trying to push cold thick oil during Indiana winters. The thing I have always loved on the Fram filters is the Easy Grip junk they put on them to make getting a hold of the thing. So, for these reasons I stock both types in my garage for our two jeeps. Both are V8s one with 51,000 and the other with 240,000 miles. Both run great with no smoke.

I find Wix filters to be the best for the money so, I have been using them on all three of my vehicles with never a problem. They don't hurt the wallet to give you a quality filter.

When it comes to oil filters for my jeep i will generally use anything but Fram which becomes an issue because Fram is the only filter they sell at my local Walmart where i get my oil so i have begun purchasing my filters online and combining them with other orders to receive free shipping. For $7.50 this Wix filter is cheaper than most other "high end" filters such as Mobil 1 or K&N. I do not know if this filter is any better than the others but through research i have found many people believe Wix filters are the best you can buy and thats enough for me to keep using them.

Why spend over $10 WIX, WIX is a cellulose and Synthetic filtering media that filters up to 10-12 microns with 45% more capacity. With Full synthetic filter can go 7500miles or 6 months. I personally use Valvoline Synpower(5w30) with WIX and change oil once a year and change my WIX filter twice.

There is only one oil and filter in my opinion better but cost 2 to 3 times more. Amsoil and Amsoil EA filters, combo works for 1 year or 25,000miles.

Just see for yourself video's of disassembly of oil filters.

I love the WIX oil filters. They are far superior to Fram w/out breaking the bank. Fast shipping and everything was as it should be.
