oil drain plug- gasket - Toyota Yaris Forums

eddy · 10-12-2009, 02:11 AM

does anyone know the size of the oil drain plug-gasket.

yaris-me · 10-12-2009, 02:22 AM

The plug is 14mm-1.5. A gasket with 8mm ID and 14mm OD should work.

thanks have not changed the oil yet and did not want to get stuck without the right one happy thankgivings

AlexNet0 · 10-12-2009, 07:33 AM

I've never used one. I didn't even know it was there till a few months ago. But i havent leaked at all, so I dont worry about it.

Mine stays stuck to the pan and still looks good because I don't over-torque, so I leave it be.

Last year I put the fumoto valve in. I have changed the oil twice since and all I have to do is put a pan under the car and push and slide the little lever. After the oil is drained out you just slide the lever back. It is really sweet!

Fumoto!

anybody got a link to this fumoto easy change plug adapter gadget (or a pic of it installed)? Depending on what it looks like, i'd be tempted to buy one. I fear what would happen if I ran over a piece of debris at highway speeds. A picture is worth a thousand words.... and possibly a sale.

Just swing by any toyota dealership. They sell bags of like... a thousand of those washers for a few bucks. At least the parts department at the local dealership is more than happy to hand those washers out like candy, just so you have the right part and since it's so cheap anyways.

That sealing washer is an amazing little gomer. The one on my ECHO is still there after nearly nine years and 27 oil changes and still seals perfectly.

bronsin · 10-12-2009, 05:20 PM

Hmm so you just have to flip a lever to dump the oil out of the crankcase with the Fumoto?

Yes, and it almost sticks out like a sore thumb.

Jegs has the Fram Sure Drain for $24.00, cheaper at Amazon.
No lever. Attaching drain hose opens spring loaded valve. After oil drain, with hose off, you thread on o-ring sealed cap, so it's double sealed.

Fumoto

I've never changed the gasket on mine, it's stuck to the oil pan and has yet to leak at all.

bronsin · 10-12-2009, 11:34 PM

What happens if it opens when youre driving? (nevermind I know what happens!) Hard to improve on a ten cent bolt. (and its free!)

That's only a concern with the Fumoto

The Fram has no lever, it has the internal pressure seal that only gets activated when you screw on the drain hose during an oil change, plus it also has the redundant outer seal and screw on cap, and it's a lot smaller.

Most Fram SD p/n's @ amazon are less than $8.00, over $20.00 less than the Fumoto @ amazon

I believe ours is the SD-3 [M12x1.25], not a M14x1.50 as previously mentioned.

It is 12mm-1.25.

I put the Fumuto F-103 on my Yaris and my Xterra (same size one as the Yaris). I was very impressed with the quality and with how hard it would be for the valve to be accidentally opened. it has a ball valve, and on top of that it has a significant spring that you have to press the lever against to open the ball valve.

It's nice being able to drain the oil without getting a drop on your hands.

I'm thinking about getting something, probably the Fram, because I'll be doing UOAs on my next 2 oil changes and figured it'd be easier to get samples with a drain device.

The Fumoto lever doesn't scare me, but if it hangs a little lower than the pan I was afraid that a board or similar debris could hit the entire valve itself.

Here's what mine looks like.

From the front (barely visible between the two bumps):

From the side (If you put a level across the bottom most point of the oil pan it sticks down about 1/2" below the bottom of the pan):
