Do you have a part number for the valve?

I use a mightyvac fluid dispenser, put 4 quarts in pressurized it open the valve the oil goes in, put 3 more quarts in and repeat. No mess and easy to do.

Google " Fomoto oil drain valve " go to their web site, put in your chassis/engine info and it will then give you a part number. Our 2016 26k Ford V-10 takes number 106. It has a small neck to attach a hose to. There are several different configurations.

I like the Fumoto valve as well. It sure makes it very easy to drain. Because it's more than most standard empty containers. I keep all empty cat litter plastic jugs. They will probably hold about 10 quarts or more.

On filling I like this idea even though I still haven't done it. Get one of those spray fertilizer/bug bottles that will hold 2 gallons and fix it up to pressure feed the 6 or 7 quarts of oil into the engine. You can add what ever amount of feed line you need to make it all work. Or hold it above the hood and feed the fill tube into the filler hole.

If traveling you can pre-load the bottle with 7 quarts of oil and change or top off your oil as needed. Make sure you mark it at 6 and 7 quarts and re-fill if you've needed to add some.

Another Fumoto advocate. Makes the job simple and clean.

fumoto is the answer. I use gallon milk jugs. Stick on hose on the fumoto valve and the other end in the the milk jug. When it gets full, shut the valve off for a minute to change to an empty jug. When I am done, I take the jugs to an auto parts place to recycle.

Fomoto valves are awesome, have one on my riding mower too!

This is handy for directing the flow from either the drain hole OR the filter:

Loosen the oil filer get a freezer zip lock bag put the bag over the filter and spin it off, filter and oil stays in the bag.

John.
I like your idea. Thanks

Anyone tried punching a hole in the bottom of the oil filter to drain it before removal?????

[jergeod]

You guys ever pull your engine cover inside? Right valvecover has a breather tube pull the rubber tube stick in a funnel and pour in your oil, takes two minutes.

[John Wayne]

Punching a hole in the filter I found will not let all the oil drain out. When it gets down to just a drip and you unscrew the rest of the way oil will leak over the sides and run all over. If you have problem with drain pan over tie rod the freezer bag works the best.

So far the freezer bag sounds like the best way to go.Thank
for the tip.
