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

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!

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.

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.

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

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 love momentum.

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

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

I've used Fumoto on four cars so far and have never had a problem. You can place the valve lever on the top so it's away from the road. It's a lot better than the Fram and cost about $2 more. I tried the Fram on an old used car that I had and it is a POS.

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.

If I was going to do it Id use the FRAM one. That Fumoto looks like potential $$$$$ trouble to me! Gee I COULD eliminate my 14mm wrench from the tool kit though!
