ATTN: All FUMOTO Drain Valve Owners

Well, I just got done changing oil and finally did this simple installation of the Fumoto Drain Valve. Weird though, I just thought that since my ride is still stock height,any one could just slide right under and open the valve. But I then thought to myself again, Only someone with nothing else better to do would search for cars with these fumoto valves and let their oil drain. With everything said and done, I just left it on!!!

Now to all fumoto valve owners. How long were you guys running this simple mod!

Also found a treat for all you iclubbers who are irrated of just having a single front cupholder. Its a DIY Mod thread... I will be pursuing this DIY mod in a couple of weeks.

Nobody is going to think to look under your car and open the valve. They'll just key your car or break your windows like a normal criminal. Besides, you'd most likely see the giant pool of oil coming from under the car, close the valve, and walk to the nearest store to buy more oil.

Installed my valve but I had a really slow drip that I couldn't fix. Had to take it off until I can get a new washer/drain plug. Great product though!
