What Fumoto Valve?

[Raptor911]

Ok then .. you are using an adapter made by some guy

I stand by my statement .. a Fumoto metal valve will NOT thread into a plastic oil pan

I'm not with my truck but will. Its a replacement plastic plug with the fumoto threaded into the plastic plug. Some guy was making them years ago and I bought a couple.

I went with a Ronin for mine. I like it.

Is this the exact one you have? I’m getting close to needed an oil change and want to get everything around.

It's still a metal fumoto screwed into plastic. There's a thread here somewhere with a plastic fumoto screwed into a plastic pan though if that's what folks are looking for.

I am going to make an analogy for you that I hope you understand.

If I were to tell you that I am 7 feet tall BUT failed to disclose the fact that I was standing on a stool measuring 14 inches then I am really 7 feet tall?

You disagreed with me but conveniently left out the fact that you are using an adapter.

Nothing intentional left out, no more so than you telling me that I didn't have a plastic oil pan and questioning if I knew what kind of engine was in the truck that I've been driving for 10y. I'm still disagreeing with you that metal can't be threaded into plastic. It's done in the plumbing world everyday. If you would have said that they don't make a metal fumoto with plastic oil pan threads, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Much easier solution...

It has locking tabs to stay secure...just did my second oil change. Very well made.

I like it and the ability to lock it. Much better than a small zip tie in the fumoto grove that I've been using. I'm in a lot of rough and brushy terrain often. Always worried about a stick hitting the lever just right lol.

On the 2.7 engine?
Which model# are you using and did you need to add the base extension?
Thanks!

I have the 2.3 w/ manual trans. I am using the position adjustable model.

And even with the skid plate in place it is cool that you can stick a tube on the nipple and drain the pan by just turning it...but I like to take the entire plug out and check the magnet for pieces of valvetrain

Asking again; Anyone with the 2.7 using any of the metal drain valves recommended on the Fumoto site and if so, did you need to add the extension to clear anything on the oil pan. Thank you.

Just ordered this for my first change. I appreciate it!

I totally forgot about Fomotos and ordered a Ronin...but looking at their website it seems they show metal threads which doesn't match up so I dunno.

They have an adapter.

Funny this thread popped up - as I was peeping their site for my 2.3L. Going with the F107SX:

Edit: my uninformed mistake - not available for 2.7L. The adapter is for downsizing threads.

There's no Fumoto adapter for the 2.7. The 2.7 pan does not have threads. It has a spiral groove. So, to use a Fumoto valve on the 2.7, you would need an adapter with a spiral groove on one end and threads on the other end.

Until somebody comes up with that solution I've got a Ronin.
