Available with and without nipple for a hose connect

Is it that difficult to remove 1 bolt every couple of months?
-
Hahahahahahhahah I'm with OM617...
It's really not that difficult.
-
many of the oil pans on the equipment I work on have ball valves with a nipple for a hose.
but those have their oil changed once a month(ore more) and use upwards of fifteen gallons of oil each.
I have thought about putting a valve for oil changes on my motor, but it would probably just get knocked off.
-
If you are prone to stripping bolts it might be a good idea. :P
-
i would rip the damn thing off and cook my engine. im with 617 and everyone else here, just take the bolt out, its not that hard.

I think this one would make more sense in a VW: http://www.nospillsystems.com/prod02.htm (http://www.nospillsystems.com/prod02.htm) As mentioned previously they are primarily used where you have to drain large quantities of oil. For VW's the primary advantage would be not having hot oil run over your hands as you remove the bolt.

If I could keep myself from offroading it would work fine, but alas, everytime I add something new to the underside I find myself driving down a rutted trail........
-
Thanks for this my man. One will be added to the Caddy when I install the new oil pan. ;D
-
Yeah !
Somebody likes it ! ;)
So what is the drain (plug ) size ?
Fumoto engineering is the Mfg

Don't know right now. Will measure before I order.
-
2 sizes listed. 14x1.5mm and an adaptor if you don't need one. I'm getting one, I ordered a skid plate, because I do drive on a lot of bushroads, I figure if I don't have to drop the plate to do an oil change. Time saved is money saved.
-
Thanx for the size, you can get it with and without a hose nipple...

I didn't mean to offend you either, I just think it's a funny idea for what, 4-5 litres of oil?
Some people go overboard on their VW's and there is nothing wrong with that if you're having fun.
