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!

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.

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.
