Just look at the inner length of the threads, realize how much extra oil you will get and order yourself a vacuum oil pump. It will do oil change much cleaner and you no longer need to go under the car. If the oil filter is down there, just get a relocation kit.
Ez valve is used on couple semi trucks with dd15 and a cat engines, never had a problem you imagined in video, never leaked. No extra parts - higher reliability.
I don't think Valvomax had has issues either, so I wouldn't say it's more reliable. If the valve in the ez valve doesn't fail, then great. But I believe having the cap is an added benefit.
Maybe back in the days of early automobiles. Any car with a PCV valve/ crankcase breather already has this same effect, no need to open the cap. Although doesn’t hurt since you need to open the cap to add oil anyway.
Just did an oil change on my Valvomax-equipped car. Change went very well. It definitely speeds things up with a lot less risk of a mess. If you do your own changes I recommend this product.
Problem with some of these types of products on some cars is that it protrudes into the pan preventing some oil from draining. See what happens after you drain the pan, then unscrew the valve, see if additional oil comes out. Also, ever wonder why oil drain pan bolts are so big? It's so you get a fairly strong flow out, which can help remove heavier crap in the bottom of the pan. Reducing the diameter reduces the velocity of oil exiting the pan and might lead to les heavy gunk escaping, even though anything in the bottom is unlikely, it is a consideration.
Completely agree, which is why it's so important to keep up on oil changes. If you have a vehicle that sits for awhile, then this probably isn't the product for you. But, if you are religious in your oil changes, it will be just fine.
I know this reply is kind of old, but with these systems (any of them) you can drain the oil much warmer. This helps flow a lot, but it also means you can suspend those particles into the oil by running it for a few minutes before you open the valve. Giving them the best chance to flow out at all. Otherwise, if you do the oil cold or when the car has been sitting for a while (who wants to burn their hands? I sure don't!) those particles will settle out to the bottom of the pan for sure. (Personally, I want to hope that all of those particles are being snagged by the super-strong magnet that I keep taped to the end of the oil filter. But that is a whole other discussion.)
Fantastic video and explanation...thanks! I have one on my 2015 RAV4 and 2009 Camry. Both vehicles get used alot so oil changes are frequent. Valvomax is awesome for saving time and preventing a mess should it be a windy day since I do my oil changes in driveway. I'm now looking into putting one on my 2023 RAV4 XLE Hybrid Premium.
Mine is 18 yo and 689,000mi and counting no leak yet. But this valve looks nice as well not knocking it at all just Fumoto doesn't seem to be failure prone either
That's awesome! I have heard some people had issues with fumoto, so that's why I went with this instead. I liked the idea of having a secondary stop (the cap). But with that amount of miles you definitely got your money's worth! What kind of vehicle do you have?
Seems like the inventor of that devise thought how the valve ages. These days almost everything is not made to last so it is refreshing to see a product that is made the "old way"!
Yea for sure. Even if the valve lasts the life of the vehicle, it's still really nice to know the cap is there as a precaution. Most companies won't do that, because they hope people will just buy another one.
Installed them on my wife’s Forester and my Ford Transit. Great product and will be installing on the new 4Runner and Ascent. I’m also pretty anal and change my oil every 3000 miles so I’m not worried about sludge.
Awesome! Yea some people think the plug will block some of the oil from coming out and are worried it can hurt the engine. But, as you already know, if you change your oil regularly like you should, that won't be an issue. These devices are pretty great! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! 🤟
To be honest Matt, I have no idea. But, if you try it, make sure you don't toss away your drain bolt until you drive it for at least a few hundred miles. This way you won't be screwed if it starts leaking around the threads.
Ever pull the value out after the oil is done draining to see if there's any oil left in the pan? The threads look like they could be sticking out past the pans threads.
There could be a tiny bit left, but it won't matter as long as you regularly change your oil. The filter grabs 99.9% of particles and mixing a tiny bit of old oil with 8 quarts of new oil won't make a difference. Thanks for watching! 🤟
Hello Art Soto! Oil filters can be in a difficult to reach area, like on my 2013 F150. This summer I plan on doing an oil filter relocation kit to make it easier to change. Stay tuned!
Used on my 2005 Taco. It works great. Easy and clean oil change. Caution: It may not fit your car’s oil drain hole. If it doesn’t thread in easily, stop and don’t force it.
The glugging of the oil drain is because the fill plug wasn't removed before draining. With an open fill plug, the system is vented and you have no glugging.
In my opinion, I think it's better because of the cap that goes on the end. It's a secondary security measure to prevent oil from leaking out if the valve inside wears out. Fumotos are know to wear over time, so I personally like having the cap to prevent oil from leaking on the driveway and roads.
My drain flows fast when I stop flow by pinching tube at catch jug. I squeeze out air and let go. Fast flow because the weight of oil pulls the oil out of oil pan ! Long hose is necessary to get the weight of oil to pull oil thru drain valve. Trust the science! Lol
Time to upgrade the tire guage. Sure, the stick guages have been around for a long time, but they aren't always the most accurate. There's a reason why you can get them for a $1.
Used drain valves on tractors but i don't know if it's such a good idea on a car or truck. Last thing i want is to be hundreds of miles away from home and lose oil pressure because of a leaking seal. The more moving parts you have, the more likely it is to fail🤷♂️
Mine started dripping around 5 minutes, definitely not 10. My truck takes 8 quarts, so that's not too bad. I always let my oil drain for about 15 minutes either way though.
🤣 yea man, that is the most obnoxious location for one. But stay tuned! I bought an oil filter relocation kit and am going to try to get it installed this spring! This should help everyone with these F150's. Those oil filters are such a pain.
Yea that's true. I'm hoping the relocation kit makes it easier though. I plan on mounting it straight up and down so it would be an easy dump and drain. We will see how it goes though.
Your assertion that the Valvomax is best because it has a cap to prevent leaks if the valve eventually leaks has merit... logically. There are a few ways the valve could fail: WEAR, CORROSION, and BREAKAGE. BREAKAGE: BREAKAGE could happen to any valve if it hits an obstruction, so they are on equal grounds there. Solution? Do NOT hit obstructions, or provide a SKID PLATE. WEAR: WEAR is another potential problem, however, these valves have a VERY LOW cycle/use rate, AND they are sealing a lubricant, therefore wear should not... logically be a problem. This might be valid only if there is a history of the internal valves not sealing/wearing. Again these valves are cycled/used very infrequently to seal a lubricant so a wear problem, especially in the presence of engine oil is VERY unlikely and should be logically excluded UNLESS there is historical record of such wear. CORROSION: The presence of a lubricant AND the fact that both the Fumoto and the Valvomatic are corrosion resistant metals make corrosion a non-issue.
Great points! It most likely won't hit anything as there are a ton of other suspension parts that will deflect obstacles first before ripping the valvomax out. Thanks for watching! 🤟

You still need the drain pan for removing the filter. So either way your still playing in drain oil.
Right, the filter still needs to be removed regardless.

If you loosen the oil fill cap on top it won’t pulsate like that when it drains because air will be able to come in the top as it drains.
Good point 21trips! Thanks for watching! 🤟

I had a fumoto valve for 12 years on my diesel ram truck. Never leaked. I'm sure eventually it will leak, but I'd be dead before that happened.

Does the adapter comes with the valve or you have to buy separately?
Yep it comes with the valve!

Good tip! Thanks for watching! 🤟
how does the seal on a Fomoto ball valve wear out?
I could be wrong, but I believe there is a seal inside, right behind the ball.
I keep the drain adapter in my glove box in a Ziploc bag
I do the same!
What brought me to this video was my desire to not use oil pans any longer and drain direct into a recycling container

Hello! It looks like your thread size is M14-1.50!

The glugging of the oil drain is because the fill plug wasn't removed before draining. With an open fill plug, the system is vented and you have no glugging.
Yea a few people mentioned this. I'll have to unscrew the cap the next time I do an oil change and see if that helps.
Would be better if comes with lifetime warranty since seal wlll deteriorate. So instead of unscrew now screw.
Yea, but they are pretty cheap. If they gave out lifetime warranties, then they would hike the price up. I'd rather just buy another one.
Why is it better than fumoto which uses a ball valve?
In my opinion, I think it's better because of the cap that goes on the end. It's a secondary security measure to prevent oil from leaking out if the valve inside wears out. Fumotos are know to wear over time, so I personally like having the cap to prevent oil from leaking on the driveway and roads.
It drains a little slower but works well
Agreed!
My drain flows fast when I stop flow by pinching tube at catch jug. I squeeze out air and let go. Fast flow because the weight of oil pulls the oil out of oil pan ! Long hose is necessary to get the weight of oil to pull oil thru drain valve. Trust the science! Lol
Lol good point!
And i check my tires once a month . Kinda looney about my tire pressure. Lol
Most people don't and definitely should! Same with brake fluid. There are quite a lot of things that people neglect.

What's the most accurate way
Used drain valves on tractors but i don't know if it's such a good idea on a car or truck. Last thing i want is to be hundreds of miles away from home and lose oil pressure because of a leaking seal. The more moving parts you have, the more likely it is to fail🤷♂️
I completely agree! Which is why I prefer the Valvomax. The cap on the end will prevent oil leakage if the valve inside fails.
What about oil filter???
You still have to replace the oil filter. I'm not sure there is a way to get around that.
That's a good point. My trucks filter isn't, but this could definitely work for a lot of vehicles.
No need for anti-seize on oil pan threads. They ain’t going to corrode.
Very true.
Them oil plug threads are now higher then the belly of the oil pan and will not allow all the oil to drain so you still need to remove that plug
You can if you want. If you change your oil regularly (5k miles or less) and make sure the fluid is warm before draining, you shouldn't have an issue.
Take the oil fill cap off to stop it from pulsing. Drains alot faster aswell. Lol diddo
That's true! Thanks for watching Cody! 🤟
i would buy it if it's 20$, they want 44$ for that +6$ for the drain valve. with 50$ i can get enough oil for 2 oil change.
Lol fair enough.
Other video says draining is slow as much as 10 minutes
Mine started dripping around 5 minutes, definitely not 10. My truck takes 8 quarts, so that's not too bad. I always let my oil drain for about 15 minutes either way though.
They don't have a cleaner solution for removing the oil filter yet? Come on!
