Second oil change and Fumoto oil drain valve install

[Joshick91]

I did a second oil change today on the maverick and installed the Fumoto drain valve. The Fumoto drain valve fits nicely. I made a video on the oil change and Fumoto drain plug install here.

Nice. I went with a Stahlbus Oil Drain Valve for my Maverick. It is in and we will see how it performs when I need to drain it next time.

But I have a Fumoto on hand for the next time I change the oil on my wife's Subaru. I apparently bought the wrong one prior to the last time I changed her oil and only found out when I couldn't get it to thread in. Ohh well.

Looking forward to a video of your third oil change so we can compare how much easier it'll be!

Do you know which valve (thread size) to use? Is the hydrid engine drain plug an M14 x 1.5 thread?
Amazon was not helpful.

Thanks!

So Amazon doesn’t have the drain plug listed.
I just went on fumoto website and put in the details: 22 ford maverick 2.5l and it is showing the valve I installed. You want the F137s, m12-1.75 short nipple one. Don’t forget to get the adapter.

Are you guys afraid of stripping out the factory drain plug? Why the valve?

Oh on the 2.5 hybrid motor is the pan aluminum or steel? I have yet to change my oil at 1200 miles. Oh think I saw there is a bigger oil filter (longer) that can be used on 2.5 what is ford filter number if you have it by chance.

Did same but replaced with a Stahlbus plug. So much cleaner vs the standard plug.

Na not really. Just like the convenience and not having to get hot oil on me.

How to install aftermarket oil drain (Fumoto, Stahlbus, whatever) *BEFORE* your first oil change, so that one will be easy, too.

1. Remove the 710 cap.

2. Attach a shop vac to the oil fill tube and turn it on. A second person to maintain position and contact will be helpful here, because you don't want the shop vac to become disconnected, even a little, while you're under the beast with the oil drain plug removed. Also, don't use the oil dipstick tube for this; it's not up to the task.

3. Now that you have a constant negative pressure in the crankcase, remove the oil drain plug and replace it with your aftermarket drain of choice. Oil will not come out the drain hole if the shop vac is properly attached and running. The doubters and non-believers among you will want to have a drain pan under "just in case."

4. Tighten to spec and when you're sure the new drain valve is closed, you can remove the shop vac.

5. Replace the 710 cap. And since you're already there, check the oil level.

I've used this procedure on all my vehicles to get a Fumoto valve on the oil pan before the first drain. No drips.
