oil drain plug- gasket

[R2D2]

I have had two Fumoto valves on two different cars and they are of excellent quality-I understand they have been granted OE status in Japan. I highly recommend them.

On my Yaris I was a little uneasy however due to the location of the drain plug. I ended up ordering a Fram from Amazon due to the low price so I could check one out. I think they are also well made and have since out fitted several engines and a compressor I service at work with Sure Drains and am happy with them- especially considering they were less than 8 dollars each. I have enough on hand also to outfit our small fleet of police cars.

My opinion is one would do well with either the Fumoto or the Sure Drain. They make changing oil even more fun and provide a much easier and cleaner means of obtaining UOAs for those who are inclined to.

1st, I have found the Sure Drain works well for sampling with the hose removed from the drain fitting. I would draw a few ounces, discard, then draw a sample. Either way much easier to get a non-contaminated sample than using the standard drain plug.
