I bought the Fumoto F106N FN-Series Drain Valve with Long Nipple, but will need to fab a plate over the MetalCloak oil pan skid. I dont like how a well placed rock can ruin my day. I'm sure theres a pic on my build thread. I'll add it to my post if I find it.

The Fumoto F-106SX allows you a bit more flexibility to move it out of the way for a bit more clearance.

I have the N on mine. I have RR skid plates with a decent size access hole for the drain plug. No way anything will hit it. Without the plate id be more leery.

I have the Fumoto as well but didn’t put it on until I installed skid plates. It sits well recessed behind the plate. They are great to have. I would get the long nipple if you intend on using the tubing. You can spin the nipple up out of the way.

There's about 3/4 in above the skid, but a well placed rock with a "witch's hat" can get into the MC skid. LOL

I used a Valvomax for the simple reason that in the very unlikely event that something hits the valve, stainless steel will take considerably more impact than brass. Either one is a good choice for oil changes made simple.

Didnt think about a rock hitting it and causing an issue. I do not have a skid plate there. I take it the black plastic piece that keeps the valve in place is no good for a rock hit?

That Valvomax one looks pretty nice too. More to think about. I plan on doing an oil change soon. Im sitting at 5500 miles and want to go ahead and do a second one.

Considering how far up these oil pans are, if anyone is worried about hitting their Fumoto valve on a rock, maybe they ought to worry more about developing their driving skills, and learn to pick better lines...
Just sayin ?
