    yeah exactly, you only have to open/close the bolt once every 3 months anyways so I doubt it'll justify the cost. Besides a Bolt seems more secure to me.

      Its also one less thing to worry about breaking. Anyone deciding to overtorque any oil pan bolt is a retard. But too bad most quick lube places are like that. Do your own its easier. Anyway I would think if honda engineers thought it would be a good idea they would have done it. Personally I dunno if I would want to put something like that on my car when I start tracking. I dont like oil leaking out of nowhere eventually destroying my car.

          While i agree with you, that is probably the worst argument against it and any other mod.

              I've done many fluid changes with them, from coolant to windshield fluid to power steering to transmission fluid to cleanups and even the toilet (as a test). With many cars to maintain, it gets a bit annoying having to crawl under the car and/or to get the car on level ground.

                Yea when I was working at taiwan it was so much easier to use. Especially on the Mercs and bimmers. Didnt need to jack up the car so great.

                  I think just about every second person on my bike forum has Fumoto valves...including me.

                  Great things.

                    i've got something like this...

                    cept its way better...my dad put it on, it's not a valve like this, it's flush against the oil pan (not that it'd matter, my truck doesn't scrape anything)

                    and it makes oil changes painless, and C-L-E-A-N.
