<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">I am using the Fumoto on my 1977 F-150. With the old plug the oil drained all over the cross member. I got the style with the hose nipple. Now I can use 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.</p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">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!</p>

<b>Subject:</b> [Shop-talk] Oil drain plugs: Traditional vs quick-drain?</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">
<div>What's the consensus on quick-drain plugs like Fumoto and Stahlbus?
<br>
Gimmicky or are they worth it? I'm toying with the idea of putting one <br>
on my 4Runner. The oil pan is protected by a skid plate so I'm not too <br>
concerned about debris snagging the plug but it does seem like I'd be <br>
putting a lot of faith in that plug spring.<br>
<br>
What do you say?<br>
