The one on my Mustang and my old 1990 F150 didn't come with the plastic lock, but I never had any issues with the valve ever. The 5.0L in my old F1 had a Milodon 8 qt. oil pan with dual sumps, and 2 drain plugs. I left a short piece of hose on the forward one, just long enough to clear the cross-member that it would normally drain on top of without the valve. They made super easy and I could drain both sumps into the same pan, at the same time without making a mess. Highly recommended!
I installed the Fumoto oil drain valve on my Ford Ranger, and I really like it. Less mess. One bonus item about installing this unit is if you accidentally overfill your crankcase, you can EASILY drain off a little until the level is right. By the way, you really should put some jackstands under the truck if you are going to crawl under it. Don't rely on the jack alone to hold it up.
Lol. Jack is not holding the truck. All it’s doing is leaning it so that we can get more oil out. We fit under there and can work freely without any jacks
Grab some 3/8" tubing to make it real easy to direct the flow while draining the oil. You can get a nipple plastic cover for the Fumoto Valve or tubing if you decide to use tubing from any hardware store.
Been using on my 2018 raptor since new.....pro tip.....keep a 5 quart bottle from your last fill. Go to home depot, get clear plastic 3/8 tube to connect from the valve and run down into empty 5 quart jug. Darin. Replace with new jug when full, recycle the oil. You never have to get the oil drain pan out again.
Of course, but an open pan works better than this crap closed pans. And they leak like crazy when you take it back for recycling. I have 2 open pans now for different applications and make far less mess and easier to transport the oil
@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad They will toss it in the trash, charge you for a new one, and cross thread the new one. Then make sure its all topped off with ATF and you will be ready to go👍
Come on guys, you did a great job but with that beautiful CLEAN, WHITE driveway. Its a given to put an old towl down or cardboard on the ground as well, under the filter and drain plug lol
“Mud will get in here and turn to rock and we will never get this off” Mud takes millions of years to harden into rock possibly 10’s of millions of years. I think yer good homie.
I’ve talked about this topic many times before man. I have not found any supporting info to show me I need to do 5k oil changes. Oil was in good shape here, my last truck I did 10k oil changes and never had engine problems, this truck is doing the same. With the high quality oils and how thin this oil is, anything under 6k oil changes is a waste
@@tundras4ever552 just thought I'd add a comment on the oil loss, in 10k miles it's likely from the PCV system (likely only enough to make it "a little low" and not critical loss that would effect anything. You can see the oil lost with an oil catch can on the PCV system but without it it's burnt off when it's cycled back into the intake.
All modern performance engines burn a little bit of oil. Some more than others. Rotary engines burn the most and part of the normal operation. All turn engines, burn a little bit of oil as part of their normal operation. Some NA engines even burn oil and you have to check the oil level regular so they don’t run dry. It’s how some engines work and surprised you did not know that.
@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad I put the Ronin on my 2020 Mustang GT with its plastic oil pan. Nice system, the Ronin. Recommend it highly, no need to replace OEM drain plugs/O-rings down the road during this time of supply chain shortages.
That’s a big fix man with lots of extra tools and lifts. Well outside what we can do man. Transmission mount I would imagine is easy enough. But engine mount that requires a hoist is well out of what we can do man. Sorry
Do you think not having the magnetic drain plug could be a downside to installing this product I have never had metallic particles on mine changing the oil but it does seem like good insurance to keep particles from circulating through the engine.
Magnetic drain plug can’t catch it all with the pressures the oil gets out thru. It’s really just a way to let you know there is a problem. Not catch it all. If there is a problem, you will see it come out regardless
I’ve had it on the truck 6000 miles and it worked out great but we did not get a chance to properly long term test it. Truck had way too many issues and we are getting ready to sell it.
Make sure you get some tubing at Lowe’s or Home Depot before you install it. It’s a funky size and you want to get the right size and leave a section of it in your tool box or with your oil filter wrenches.
@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad thanks I just went ahead and bought valve tubing and cover cap all in one order on amazon together to make life easy. thanks for the info and great vids
U should put a wrap or two of Teflon tape on those threads before u screw it in bro . And find a rubber hose to slip on the end of that valve long enough to reach in the tray to easily drain the old oil out .
In some ways yeah it’s a better design. It has a build in dust cap, draining rate could be adjustable, and it’s a more complete kit. But it has a few drawbacks. The dash cap is a hand screw type and can easy come off with offroad vibration. After some time I could see the cover getting stripped from over tightening. If the cover does come loose, I could see that ball getting gunned up and possibly leaking. But it’s biggest drawback Is cost. almost double. And now you have an extra part to carry around if you want to drain the oil.
You can’t ever get all the oil out. We let ours sit for about 30 min and she was still dripping. Point is to get as much out as possible and with the valve we won’t have to worry about extra messy oil changes anymore and could also sample oil between changes without draining the whole pan.

Yeah planning on getting them from the hardware store. Not getting the kits online. Charging way too much for like a $0.25 cap and $2 worth of tubing
Can't wait for the next oil change it's going to squirt out so good. LIIIIMMMMMEEEEE GRRRREEEEENNNNN! Truffle Shuffle FTW!

Excellent tip!!! Will definitely be doing that. Threw away my oil pan after this one. Such a mess. Will definitely be doing this in the future.
what about the filter change though? you most likely will need the oil drain pan for that though...
Of course, but an open pan works better than this crap closed pans. And they leak like crazy when you take it back for recycling. I have 2 open pans now for different applications and make far less mess and easier to transport the oil
Jiffy lube will still find a way cross thread it🤣🤣

Game changer for oil changes. Love mine!
Totally agree. Now if we could make the oil filter replacement easier. What a pain.
The part I make the biggest damn mess of is when I pull the old filter off.
Yeah. Always messy.

We always make a mess regarless 🤷♂️🤣

You must not have experienced desert mud. Literally turns to rock and takes a ton of work to remove.
Good job..
Do 5k oil changes. Your turbos will thank you.

@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad I call oil / filter changes Cheap Insurance, so I change it every 5,000 miles plus tire rotation
@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad That is why you are burning oil lmao. piston rings are clogged!!!! nothing you can do at this point. carry on

Is this the same thread size for 2012 f150 5.0
No clue. You need to check Fumotos website to see if they make one for the 5.0
How is burning oil normal and typical?

What is the valve size, and does it fit the 2017 Ford Explorer?
You need to check the manufacturers website.
Some Raptors have plastic oil pans and can’t take a Fumoto
Yeah the 17s and some 18s have the plastic pan and a company called Ronin makes a plug options that functions in the same way.

U should put a wrap or two of Teflon tape on those threads before u screw it in bro . And find a rubber hose to slip on the end of that valve long enough to reach in the tray to easily drain the old oil out .
Mr. Muro love the video as always. Check into the Valvomax stainless oil change valve. Test one out . I believe it is a way better design.
In some ways yeah it’s a better design. It has a build in dust cap, draining rate could be adjustable, and it’s a more complete kit.

Do they have this for a gen 1 ?
Yeah, one of the first things we installed on our Gen1.
are there headlights like the ones you have on your raptor for my dad's 2010 Ford Raptor SVT? (typo)
Yes there are. alpha Rex makes a nova series for the Gen1 Raptors
@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad Thank you!
with that you will leave 1/4 of oil inside

Do not over tighten it
We tightened per the manufacturer instructions
How is it holding up
Held up Ok. But we only got one oil change out of it before the truck started to have major problems so we had to get rid of the truck
@@KeepItDirtyOffRoad are you going to put them on anything else and do you thing it would work well for offroad crawling
Yeah, putting one on the new truck at the next oil change. Should be fine with any offroad rig as long as you have skids yo protect the area
