hello all!
anyone out there using a FUMOTO oil valve? my wife's 06 civic doesn't have much room underneath for an easy oil change, either i buy a stubby wrench or use this fumoto valve to drain, valve seems to make more sense... or raise the car for more room - PITA!
(if there's any positive review of this product, i would install it on my 06 civic & 06 pilot) - thanks

You want to change your oil without getting under the car? Two of the coolest things...

hello jim,
the fumoto oil valve is just a simple ball valve that replaces your oil drain plug, you still have to get underneath the car, only, without the use of any wrench, just open the valve & out comes the oil, you can hook-up a short hose to direct the oil flow into a pan, no mess. i have no problem getting underneath cars, only thing with the 06 civic, is, you can't turn a standard size wrench to loosen/tighten the plug. this valve makes it a breeze, (around $25!, nothing to lug around, no extra tool/gismo to store...) google it, fumoto oil drain valve
