Stahlbus oil drain valve install

[rltriumph]

Did first oil change yesterday on my 2012 Lariat and installed another Stahlbus oil drain valve. This is the 3rd vehicle I have installed one on. No need to remove skid plate now that valve is installed and the oil simply drains into the jug I take to dump for recycling via the included hose. As long as the engine is warm to touch the oil really doesn’t take that long to drain. Purchased on Amazon just because we were ordering other stuff.

interesting. Thanks for sharing. I bought the ValvoMax version that looks very similar. I'll be putting it on next week.

I wasn't really sure if I'd be able to avoid removing the skid plate during future changes since this hose needs to be removed between changes. I haven't crawled under there yet.

Got the ValvoMax on mine and love it. Haven't done my second change yet, but had to use it to drain a little out because I overfilled and it worked great. Not 100% sure about needing to drop skid plate, because I already had it off to change differential. I think it looks like I can get to it though. I like how I can stop the flow in mid drain just by unscrewing the hose a little.

The stahlbos is a 1/4 turn fitting. Route the hose first and then connect

For what it's worth, I'm pulling my Fumoto off my 21 Ranger Lariat. I just ordered the Stahlbus M12x1.75.

I use the valvomax on my 2019 lariat, there is room to screw on the drain hose without removing the skid plate.

I looked at that ValvoMax, seems like threading on instead of a quarter turn twist on. I installed on one a 3.5L Ecoboost and haven't spilled a drop yet, last oil change I hit the Fumoto tab and it started to dribble after I removed the hose so I decided to go with another Stahlbus.

Fumoto is slow to drain. But mine was free, so I just rotate the tires while I wait. This one looks really nice tho.

I have the fumoto. I took it off the ranger but I haven't installed it on the bronco yet. I haven't done my own oil changes on it yet and I may not.

I thought the Valvomax was pretty cool, but now that I've seen the Stahlbus I wish I'd seen it first. ?
