Fumoto F-106N Engine Oil Drain Valve

[mav204]

I bought this Fumoto F-106N Engine Oil Drain Valve from Amazon to get installed because my engine skid plate oil frail hole is a bit tight. I have free oil changes from my dealer and they were not happy about installing this. They said that these have a high fail rate. Any advise for or against using this?

I indeed had a Fumoto valve fail on my XJ years ago when some idiot at a Monkey Lube apparently couldn't figure out how to use a ball valve and butchered the thing.

High fail rate? Nope. Not unless idiots are involved.

The Fumoto is popular on the TDR and CF forums,I run one on my Dodge as well.
Fumoto makes "The Fumoto lever clip gives you extra security while using Fumoto Valves under normal or unusual conditions. No Tools required! The lever clip can only be installed when the valve is 100% in the closed and locked position."
I have also seen pictures of hose clamps used to secure the lever.
My off road is a dirt road or a beach,if I was hardcore I might not use the Fumoto.
