EZ Oil Drain Valve

Heads up if you're actually going to torque with a crowsfoot, you want it 90 degrees to the handle otherwise you're changing the leverage and putting more torque on it than the handle reads.

Thanks! I believe when I actually torqued it down it was at 90 degrees due to the position of the wrench under the truck but it's a great callout as I did not know that. The pic was taken after I grabbed it by the head to pick it up.

I've used the Femco oil drain on my two previous Cummins which have notoriously wimpy drain bungs and will put o n e on my glad when I run out of my jeep wave dealer changes

Anyone know what size fits the 3.0L?

Although I have Fumoto valves in both my full size diesel pick ups, I would be leery of an off road hit like others have mentioned. I guess a good skid plate will help prevent that, and then with the skid in the way the valve would show much more value and ease of use. The only other thing is you dont get a full drain of the bottom of the pan due to the valve nipple sticking up into the pan quite a ways. With my big diesels using 15-16qts of oil I dont sweat it too much, but on these baby diesels (if you have one) or the gas engine, you are prob leaving a 1/2qt or more undrainable at the bottom of the pan....just my $.02

I use the Valvomax, works great, super simple and clean.

I'm not using one but I have considered it on other vehicles.

Bottomline: It ain't that hard to remove a regular drain plug and there's NO chance of a regular drain plug "failing" and running the engine out of oil.

On a Jeep actually used off road the chance of this thing failing or being damaged is multiplied by something like 10x I would think.

Fumoto valves/ easy valves really come in handy when you have skid plates….. it’s nice to put a hose on the end and drain directly into a container….

That's my plan at the next change. I virtually never go off road or if I do, it's only a dirt road with some small rocks so I should have no concern with hitting the valve.

This one is stainless steel and made in USA.

For this reason, I would put a strong neodymium magnet next to the drain hole.
