EZ Oil Drain Valve Install w/ PICS

I installed the Fumoto Valve this weekend. http://www.fumotovalve.com/ I have installed this on 3 of my previous cars and have had ZERO problems and the craftsmenship on this valve is GREAT. This saves me so much time and mess and is well worth the 30 bucks. If you have a 99'+ or TL-S you will need to get the adapter as well. It is an extension because the oil drain plug is recessed in the oil pan. You can see in the pictures what I'm talking about. The nipple on the end of the valve allows you to attach a piece of tubing to it for an even cleaner drain. I do not use the tubing but it is an option if you want. Well here are the pictures. If you have any questions jsut PM me or post on this thread.

There is no way the valve can open on its own, the lever is latched down and has to be pushed up to open the valve. but, using it or not is another story.

So much easier. No offense to the people above but you need to see it believe it. There is no way in h*ll that it will "vibrate" open. hahaha
