I hear that, man. That link was intended more for everyone else on here bickering back and forth, like it’ll do any good .

I think sublimely they do it for the amusement/enjoyment of the other members.

At times it just becomes a big Seinfeld episode, and ends up with Kramer insulting everyone and getting kicked off of the site.....

Wow, just realized this was page 13, OP just wanted to know a good brand of oil and when to change it, think I stopped reading after page 2?

Make your oil changes even easier by installing a Fumoto oil drain valve. Get one with a nipple and use an 18" piece of clear 3/8 ID vinyl tubing. My enclosed oil pan has a hole for the tubing, so there is absolutely no splatter mess.

+1 on the Fumoto. Been using them for years and all of our fleet vehicles up at work have them. Zero issues.

Would you happen to have any info on the model etc?

I’m hoping it doesn’t hang lower than the oil pan cause I OffRoad a bit going hog hunting.

Thank you for the tubing info! I'm waiting for my Fumoto to arrive this week and wanted to adapt a tube for the oil changes.

So it's just a valve you open or close?.....attach a hose open valve and oil drains?.....if so, any chance of that valve getting knocked open or opening up cuz that would be really bad, lol

Am sure you already thought of it but have to ask

I ordered mine from these people. This is the model with the long nipple. Good price and they shipped it out the same day. Here is the exact link:

It's got a safety on it. Apparently these things have been around forever. I just found out about it last week. I'll be installing it with my first oil change. And yes it's a lever and you drain. And it's got a nipple where you can attach a drain tube. Check out the eBay link I posted above of where I bought it!

Looks like, based on the picture,, it’s going to hang down which may turn out to be an issue. I’ll check it out on your truck

They also have a model with no nipple and another with a medium nipple. At least for me with the truck lift it won't be an issue. I'll never off road anything that will reach up that high. You can see the differences on their website:
