Regardless of brand, will all of these valves completely drain all of the oil in the pan? If not, how much would be left behind?

Of course, I drain mine all of the time without a hose. You can get a valve with or without a nipple. If you'd like the ability to use a hose, get the nipple version.Can you drain these without a hose as well? I would like one with dual capability.
i thought the same thing. I went to home depot, and got a package of strong magnets....i put one, close to the valve. I take it off when draining the pan.The only con I see with this is the lack of magnetic drain plug to catch metal shavings. I like to run goldplug. They catch A LOT of metal. Otherwise, I love this idea, especially if one isn't keeping the car forever.
Yes. The Fumoto fits right in the threaded oil plug hole at the lowest point of the oil pan.Regardless of brand, will all of these valves completely drain all of the oil in the pan? If not, how much would be left behind?
Can you send link to that hose clamp? Can’t find it@JeepFreak9911
Consider wrapping the threads of the Fumoto with yellow Teflon tape (not white) and then installing it..
You MUST use the provided blue washer that comes with the Fumoto.
For your information, the stock JL oil pan plug is washer less.
The Fumoto will probably come with one of their LC-10, locking clips which is plastic. It does do it's intended job but it does come off fairly easily.
Not mandatory, but suggest you go buy a 5/8" hose clamp and use that instead of the Fumoto plastic clip. The 5/8 metal hose clamp has to be installed with a plier and cannot be removed with your fingers... you must use a plier to remove.

I place/keep a gun magnet on the bottom of the oil pan.I have the 106SX and the nipple is so short I have to hold the hose the whole time while the hose gets hotter from the oil. I have a skid plate protecting the engine/tranny and I am going to look at switching to the 106L (long nipple) so that I can eliminate the need to hole the drain hose while changing the oil. I saw someone concerned about getting all the oil out. I drive up on RV ramps from Harbor Freight and that ensures all the oil I can get out will come out. I do like the recommendation of placing a Neodymium Rare Earth Disc Magnet on the oil pan near the drain plug to attract metal particles and removing right before oil drain.
What magnet rating (lbs) do you recommend? Not sure if this has any impact.I place/keep a gun magnet on the bottom of the oil pan.
Gun magnets are usually covered with a thin black plastic coating.
They are real 40+- # magnets..
