[Byrds8]

I am wondering which valve would you guys suggest.

I went with the ValvoMax instead. It's lower profile than the Fumotos and there's no exposed lever that could accidently get clipped and turned by a rock or something.

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.

Valvomax here. Lower profile and easier to direct flow. Can also confirm it doenst hang below Asfir skid plate as well.

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.

The short nipple still works perfectly well with the attachment hose.

I’ll never get one of these valves. Oil changes are already too easy, I don’t like it.

Started to use the Stahlbus drain valve but never did

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?

 

[Byrds8]

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 ?
