Anybody use one of these - Fumoto Engine Oil Drain Valve

I think I'm gonna pick one up. Gonna switch to Amsoil and start changing my own oil. Yeah I know I was lazy for the first few years.

Here's their web site: http://www.fumotovalve.com/

Walmart has one with hose too. It is like $12.5 each. I do think not those are needed. They make the job easier.

Yes. Have used them on all my cars since 1989. Never have I had a problem. Makes oil changes so nice. Especially if ya live in an apartment. just slide the oil drain pan under the vehicle, open the valve. no one really pays attention to ya changing your oil.
On my 4 runner their was a concern that when I go off-road that their might be a problem but with the skid plate. tha valve is well protected, so no problem there. On my olds the valve is not protected but with over 80.000 miles on it. Never one problem, even when I run over road debrie. That valve is indestructable I think, or I've been really lucky. either way. Great product.
