Do you change your own oil?

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

If you do and have a skid plate for the engine it can be a mess! I also own a VW TDi with a alloy oil pan and they are easy to strip out so that where I got this idea from...:drummer:

A quick drain valve or (Futumo valve)! What a concept....

You can get the standard with a oil drain plug or one with a nipple for a hose so no more spills in the garage!!

:drummer::aagh::aagh:

[SavageSun4x4]

My concern is how far it sticks out. This looks like a valve ripped off by a rock on the next 2 rated trail....:aagh:

I would like to get my hands on one before I bought in to it.

It reminds me of a magic pipe I had when I was in College.....

every smoker has had something like that back in the day

jason whats it comparable to in the size dept.

[RokNRich]

I've had one on my Jeep since new (4+ years). The Skid Row skid plate has a hole for draining the oil, the problem is most of it gets on the skid. With the valve there and a short piece of hose, it drains right into the bucket.

Works good IF you have a skid protecting it.

Yeah, you can't see it, cause the skid is protecting it...........

BTW, the Nth skid is still for sale- chicks dig flat skids

Real world feedback, not webwheeling. :mickey:

rich on a scale of 1-10 as far as the ease of use does it help that much more

[Bilt4Comfort]

Cool...I still haven't got all the oil off my junk from last time. I have a Skid Row also...so nothin' is gonna get to that valve. I'll get one.

[djui5]

Wow that is cool! Gotta get one for the KJ :)

Jason,
If you get one let me know, I would like to see one up close. I am thinking I could fab up a piece that would protect the snout on the thing and keep it from getting knocked off.

LMAO

Ease of use = 10

For everyone ? Certainly not. I had the Skid Row engine skid, the oil would get caught on the skid and make a mess when I drained it before. Now I use the valve with a 6" piece of tube on the end, the oil drains in the bucket and not all over the skid.

I've never hit it with a rock, but had a skid for a long time, I am currently running skidless so this thread has probably just jinxed it..............:aagh:

I wouldn't recommend it to people not running an oil pan skid........

[RubiJk]

26 bones?!?! Next time I'm in China I will buy a 100 or so that would prob only cost $2 each. Highway robbery I tell ya...

ahhahahaha....hey..I had one of those..:sifone:

[jay simmons]

toooo funny

[ohiotj]

wow, didn't know that jason ever changed his own oil. Heck i havn't seen his jeep in like three weeks, so it shouldn't need too much maintence done to it.

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

LOL, I have a Jeep medic skid plate and as Rich stated you will be well protected.

Don, I ordered one for my vw and I will show it off when it arrives in 3-7 days! I will order one for the jeep in august when I need to do my 6K oil change:drummer:

I am surprised that not mnay knew of these?

Jason

[TRobertsRN]

Got one of these about 20 years ago for the inboard/outboard boat.

Much better than pumping oil out of the dip stick.

You put in one of these with a hose that can be directed out of the drain plug hole.

Much less mess and you get the sludge out of the bottom of the pan.

[JeepfromKentuke]

Doesn't Fram still make the Quik drains? pretty much the same concept and is pretty much just an oil plug replacement. Heres a link to jegs seems that the fram server is down. Happy draining. lol

I could have used one of those last night. :angel:

[DesertX04]

LOL...the protopipe! er...I mean, what is that?

I have the futumo valve and it's totally protected by a jeep medic engine skid. The nicest part is that you don't need any tools to do an oil change. I've read that people complain that it's slow, but I'm usually checking out other stuff on the jeep while it's draining so by the time I check it, it's done.

[RubiJk]

Yeah the proto-pipe with the built in chamber and poker that locked it all together! That thing was sweet! umm... well... thats what I was told anyway... I really have no idea... plead the 5th along with Alan!

1) HEY FOLKS, I could care less about what you did or did not inhale then or now and IF YOU DO NOT keep this on topic I will ask JP to start posting in here:skull:

2) That said the Fram setup in the link you provided appears to be the ANSWER to the issue that I have which is the pooling of oil in my pan skid that drains on my drive way for DAYS after an oil change.

Now I just need to figure out what threads and size my drain plug is...

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

Don, the link says its a Size 1/2"-20 UNF You may want to double check just to make sure.

I am alsmost ready for my VW 10K oil change, just waiting on the Futumo Valve!

[JeepfromKentuke]

FYI i didnt look up any thing inpaticular i was just finding the plug drain, call autozone they will tell ya what size you need, just a thing to mention the i put one on my old 3 banger metro and one on the celica the ol lady drives and they was both the same size, heres a link to the fram guide from jegs it has every make and model stuff on it for those of you that may have put a different engine in your jeep.
