mjhpadi Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Here are a few pictures of the Fumoto valve I purchased to install on the SHO with the next oil change. You will notice that I also purchased the adapter they say is needed for our engine. I have installed these valves on other vehicles and currently have one on our Explorer. They work great and make oil changes easier. Although it does take a few minutes longer for the oil to drain then removing the oil drain plug. Not sure if the adapter will be needed, they called for one on our old Taurus but it wasn't required. I will update after install. Here are the photos: BTW, I also purchased a valve for our 99 Sable. It sure makes oil changes easier when the only tool you need is the oil filter wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSHO Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have used Fumoto valves on my last 4 cars. Love them. They work great, no leaks. But, since I paid for maint. up front, I don't care to buy one for my SHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got5onIt Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I forgot about these things. I almost bought one for my SRT Jeep. What was total cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 The valve cost $23.95 for the one I got or you can get one with a nipple so you can attach a hose for $26.95. The adapter extension is $5.95, although I am not sure if it is needed. It was not needed on my 98 Taurus with the DOHC engine..I will post once I install mine. Also shipping and handling is $5.00 but if you order 2 it is free USPS ground shipping. I got 2 and used the free shipping and mine arrived in 3 days, they are shipped from Ohio. You can order at Qwik Valve.com. Here's the link: http://www.qwikvalve.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcl78 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hey mjhpadi! Did the F107 work on the SHO? I was thinking about this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hey mjhpadi! Did the F107 work on the SHO? I was thinking about this as well. Yes, it worked fine, however you don't need the extension..and I believe the oil drains a little faster if you don't use the extension...but still very pleased with it, and it makes doing oil changes really simple...hardest part is removing the under engine tray!

Jcl78 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Awesome! I won't be able to get one this time around, but I will next time for sure. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Just be aware that with the valve in place it does take about 10-15 minutes for the oil to drain if it is cold...but what is really sweet, is that all you need to do an oil change is and oil filter wrench to loosen the filter!
