Not sure if anyone knows or cares, but Fumoto oil drain valves are now available through a local distributor. I've had a Fumoto oil drain valve on my truck for 6 years and it has made oil changes uber easy. Have been wanting one for the dailer driver, so I looked up Fumoto in the US. Long story short, here's link to their website.

US Website

FUMOTO ENGINEERING


Info to Canadian site under "Find Dealer" link of home page.

Free shipping and it took a grand total of two days to get it (used PayPal).

The neat thing about the valve is you can drain any amount of oil out of the oil pan - perhaps you overfilled or you want to sample the oil. I purchased the one with a nipple on it, so I can attach a drain hose if I want.


Dude who's running Fumoto Canada is looking for dealers. I know of a few auto forums in the US that are selling the valves. Perhaps this could become a revenue maker for RS. Not sure who does this sort of stuff, but worth looking into. The product is amazingly simple and effective.
