For those looking at the Fumoto drain valves I wanted to let yall know the 2.3 requires the recessed drain valve, F107SX. I purchased the F137N and the pan interferes with it seating all the way.

I have it in the garage but I'm waiting to install at the next oil change. The threading on the F137 was correct, it just hit the oil pan after a few rotations. The F107SX is the same thread pitch but screws in while letting you keep the oversized part on the other stationary. It'll work perfectly.
I have the drain hose kit too. Mess eliminated.

Thanks for the heads up! I was waiting to for my 10k change to install, and I’ll either do the 107sx or get the extension adapter (ADP 137).

I'm doing my second oil change this week so I'll be putting mine on. This thing is racking up more miles than I planned, lol.

Installed mine today. I have their drain hose "kit" too. Slightly too big to fit in the existing gap in the bash plate so I'm going to use a dremel to enlarge it right under the oil pan and repaint for rust protection.
there is an adapter for the f137 to work, spaces it out from the pan about 1/2", works good
Do you have to or need to use the adaptor on the 107SX for 2.3L?
Just what is in the package.
Don't install it with any powered tool; any method other than your hands. Definitely don't ugga dugga it or you should've just gone to Jiffy Lube.
It allows you to clock the opening however you want before you tighten it. I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it the way I angled it, but that's for the next oil change to decide.

This website is incredible....a fountain of information. I discovered Fumoto back in 1984.
So what's the verdict on the best 2.3L fitment? Which drains the oil in the best direction?
1. F107SX ? (1/2" long adapter not needed? No recessed drain hole issue?)
2. Or F137 with the 1/2" long adapter ?

The thread title is literally that F137 doesn't work, lol. For the 2.3 you have to buy the F107SX. I bought their Drain tube kit too and snake it through the factory bash plate after I enlarged it just a little.

Having recently installed a Fumoto with extension on a Hyundai 1.6T with a recessed situation, based on the Bronco 2.3 videos I've seen, it appears the F137 would work with the 1/2" extension. On Hondas, also with a recessed situation, I went with the SX series.

Does the Fumoto let all the oil out the drain, given there is a bolt that goes up into the pan? Meaning is there a 1/4 inch or so of oil that remains in the pan?

I get what you mean now 🫡
With the extension it might be a little too close to the bash plate. But I'm happy to crawl under and check if you want. If it fits I honestly think the F137N would be a better option. I really wanted that longer nipple for ease of getting the drain tube to stick. Then you wouldn't have to wedge it between the bash plate slots to make it stay on.
