Fumoto oil drain valve on lowered vehicles

[Toy Yaris]

Hi, just wondering if any one has installed the fumoto valve with a nipple on a lowered Yaris? coz I cant get a oil pan underneath without jacking it up.
Thanks

Looks good, but wouldn't you still need to get a drain pan underneath that thing? Doesn't look like there would be enough room to attach a drain line on that valve. :confused:

there is a second type of valve, with a place to attach a drain hose to...

IMO, if you are lowered, just get the standard fumoto, and drive up on a couple 2x4s stacked up... increase height by 3.xx inches(two of them), and allow room for an oil pan...

I opted for a Fram Sure Drain valve because the idea of a Fumoto sticking out that far that low made me a little nervous.

I was looking at the sure drain but couldnt find much info on it. Any problems with yours? can't find them in Australia tried on amazon but dont ship to australia so I think i might have to get the fmoto.

Thanks

No problems, I'm quite happy with it. I got a great deal on it. Not as cool as a Fumoto but a tad safer in this app I think.

I have a Fumoto on the wifes Rogue and love it on that vehicle. It would probably be fine on a Yaris too but I just couldn't do it.

I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRAM-SURE-DRAIN-SD-3-TOYOTA-S-NISSAN-S-ONLY-U-GET-2-/260681588348?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb1d55e7c , I read somewhere Fram no longer makes these drains.

Guys, be careful with those plugs. A lot of people have returned them due to leaking. So just keep an eye on it, checking for spots under your car. It's a great idea, but isn't popular due to the high failure rate.

IMO, there are some people that think that they are good under the hood, but there are some people that DO NOT belong under the hood... period... while i will say that there are probably a portion of them that might be bad, i will BET that there are people who had a "leak" that had installed in incorrectly, and took it back to the store saying bad part when it was not bad...

I worked for a trucking company with 100+ Kenworth trucks, they installed these valves after the first oil change and our mechanics loved them. No leaks, no failures and no vandal problems. They trusted $25,000 engines to quick-drain valves and still install them on new units.

My 2007 Silverado has one and it's great!
