Alternative oil drain

Aside from having to empty a couple of times, I think it would do a pretty good job. Anyone else care to chime in?

I can tell you that when I've used it on my other vehicles, it's a heck of a lot faster and there's no mess.

We will have a Fumoto to use that does not require the adapter. Fumoto has had it for years but just looked at it a few weeks ago. The way the listed the thread made me think it was wrong. But when I got one and measured it up its a prefect fit. As soon as I get some in stock I will let you know. Should only be a week or so.

Any update?

The suction drain has been tried before and did not work apparently, see the thread below, last post

Any update on this? From looking at Fumoto's site, I get the impression that the F102 may be the right adapter. It is PF-3/8", which is supposedly functionally interchangeable with BSPP. I'd like confirmation one way or the other though.

Greg, is the F102 the correct Fumoto, or is it another one?

Thanks, and let us know when you have the correct adapter in stock.

I bought the replacement drain plug and measured it with my thread gages. It's not 18 threads / inch, it's not 20, it's not anything metric. I can't think of anything that's functionally interchangable with something of a different thread pitch without retapping.

This will be the exact same thread.

I put my old Fumoto valve on Ebay if anyone wants to grab it for a song.

So how far down will the new Fumoto hang down? How about with the nipple? I want this for my next oil change.
