F106SX: New Generation Fumoto® Valve with 14mm-1.5 Thread Size

I've been using the FUMOTO Oil Drain Valve for over 5 years on various car models, and it has been a game-changer for my oil changes. Instead of dealing with the hassle of replacing the oil pan washer and bolt every time (and always forgetting if I had one, having to go to a local auto parts store to get one, etc), this product offers a convenient solution. The installation is a one-time process, preferably during your next oil change when you're already removing and replacing the bolt and washer and reduces the total time to do an oil change to under 30 minutes or faster. Before purchasing, make sure to use the Fumoto Website to find which specific model will fit your car. In some instances, an adapter is needed, but the website tells you all of that information. I don't tend to trust the 'fits your car' from Amazon and always verify with the manufacturer directly. Another note on purchasing, I buy from the seller 'Fumoto USA' which is the official manufacturer. There are often other sellers, but I like to get direct from the manufacturer through Amazon instead of other resellers. It's not normally 'Prime' but I've usually had them ship same or next day, and receive a few days after in a small padded envelope, always in perfect condition. To ensure a secure installation, I recommend using a torque wrench and following the manufacturer's instructions. On many models, there is no actual 'washer' to install between this and the oil pain as it comes with rubber o-rings installed. Just make sure to completely clean off the oil-pan, make sure the old crush washer comes off, and its smooth / free of any dirt when you install this. Certain series (like this one) pivot and can swing around so you can position the drain port where you want which is a big plus. Once you start torquing it down, it will lock it in that position. Operating the valve is simple: just remove the provided clip and slide the lever to unlock it, allowing the oil to drain out effortlessly. It is a bit slower to drain, so I just leave the oil catcher there for 5-10 minutes and let it all drain out. If you're concerned about oil splashing, you can attach a small tube to direct the oil flow into your pan. For the safety / security minded - I've never encountered any issues with the valve opening on its own, thanks to the included locking clip provided. I can't see how anything could accidently open if it wasn't intentional. In my experience, this is one of the first upgrades I recommend for anyone interested in performing their own oil changes. It saves time, makes the process cleaner, and enhances overall convenience. Combining it with Rhino Ramps to avoid jacking up your car and using a quart bag around the oil filter when removing can result in completing an oil change in less than 30 minutes with minimal mess. I always like doing routine maintenance myself so you know it's done right and cheaper than a typical shop. Also pair it with a 'maintenance book' so you log the mileage and services you did. Normally I also rotate my tires every other oil change, and check all other fluids. Overall, the FUMOTO Oil Drain Valve has never let me down, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to streamline their oil change routine.

I had originally ordered the F106N for my 2012 Mazda MazdaSpeed3 and 2012 Honda Odyssey V6. Unfortunately, there's no way to install it because the drain plug is recessed around the drain pan. The realized Fumoto sold an adaptor that extends the F106N further out to you can install it. However, issue is now the drain valve sticks out too much and the MazdaSpeed3 has very low ground clearance. Then accidentally found this model, the F106SX which is comprised of two parts. The threaded bolt and the drain release handle housing. So basically, the drain release housing does not rotate while you tighten down the threaded bolt section just like normal drain plug through the drain release handle housing. That's it! Ingenious, solves two issues with this one product. Solves the precarious ground clearance issue as well as bypassing the extension to clear the recessed drain pain design. Edit: One caveat is that if you ever remove it for any reason say to transfer to another vehicle, I'm pretty sure that you will need to replace the 2 o-rings (1 for the oil pan side and the other for the valve/housing side.

These are excellent - will slow down draining of oil but simplify changes.

There valves work exacltly as advertised as long as you ensure you order the correct valve for your vehicle. In my case, I did not do that but it was in no way the fault of the supplier. And many users feel the need to add a washer which is not recommended with this valve. I contacted the seller and received a response immediately confirming that fact.

Excellent product have bought this make for over 15 years on various cars that I have owned and never had any issues, great for fast oil changes and fool proof lock to prevent leaks.

Installed on 2014 VW Touareg 3.0 TDI with no issues. Looking forward to oil changes without worrying about getting the crush washer seated properly. If there are any issues with the next oil change I'll update this post.

Easy install on a 2020 CRV, no adapters needed. Dry as a bone one week in.

Just bought a new 2025 Jeep. I have used these valves for years on my trucks. They work great and save time when changing your oil. I recommend these.

I like these oil drain valves. I install them on all my vehicles. They make oil changes cleaner and easier. This is my first one of this style where you can rotate the drain tube. I'll be buying this style from now on. A slight drawback is the flow rate of oil. The oil does take longer to drain when these are installed. I know this and accept it. A couple of extra minutes is a price I am willing to make for a no tools oil change.

روووعه بس لو معه لي التصريف

I used Fumoto valves on my GM cars and it is good, but it seems too dangerous to use this valve on Honda Pilot V6 3.5L engine. Drain plug located at the lowest point, which is fine, but valve is L-shaped and it became the lowest protruding part after installation. So, any obstacle met can cause fatality - valve can be broken or open due to lever location. Tried to install and switched back to simple plug. On Honda 3.5L V6 engine valve should be long and strait, not the lowest protruding part.

Great idea
