I am using the Fumoto on my 1977 F-150. With the old plug the oil drained a=
ll over the cross member. I got the style with the hose nipple. Now I can u=
se a short piece of vinyl hose and direct the oil. Never had a problem with=
it leaking. It has been on there for 5 years or so.
Back when I was doing oil changes and grease jobs on a fleet of 20 over the=
road semi trucks, I installed them on CAT 3406's and Cummins Big Cam III's=
all the time. Never a problem. It really made oil changes nice, especially=
when they came in straight off the road in the summer and I had an hour to=
turn it around. 200 degree oil is no fun with a standard oil plug!

Subject: [Shop-talk] Oil drain plugs: Traditional vs quick-drain?
What's the consensus on quick-drain plugs like Fumoto and Stahlbus?
Gimmicky or are they worth it? I'm toying with the idea of putting one
on my 4Runner. The oil pan is protected by a skid plate so I'm not too
concerned about debris snagging the plug but it does seem like I'd be
putting a lot of faith in that plug spring.
What do you say?
