Stahlbus oil drain valve

[clavicus]

Don’t you still have to access the filter for replacement? Isn’t that potentially messy as well?

4th picture on Amazon has directions. I didn't know either. Looks like it comes with a hose that screws in and opens the valve.

Looks nice. I'd buy one for around $25, but not $47.

I just purchased the ValvoMax Quick Drain Kit for $40 on their site using the Fathers Day discount code. Their quick drain system appears even easier, made in America, veteran owned company...

Looks like a nice product and made in America can be great if done well. Not sure what makes it any easier though.

If I get another car at some point I’d try it.

Well now that you ask; The Stahlbus valve has the 1/4 - 1/2 turn quick disconnect type fitting attached to the drain hose.
The ValvoMax uses a threaded cap attached to the hose. that threads over the end of the plug to press the ball seal.. IMHO, If you are under the vehicle you may have to contort you arm to get the Stahlbus fitting into position, turned, & locked in. It seems it would be easier to spin the threaded cap no matter what position your body is in under the vehicle. (And it's cheaper)

Haha I bit for the valvomax and the fathers day 20% off. The wife's Santa Fe needs a new drain plug anyways. $38 each, hopefully this makes my life easier

Thanks for explaining. I use the Stahlbus and haven't found it at all concerning or difficult. I say that not as an argument against (or for) one over the other.

I would have most likely purchased the ValvoMax had it been available or known at the time though. Just because I had to get the Stahlbus from eBay.

I’m not so sure about the optional drain bag… seems to me you would need a drain pan anyway for the oil dripping from the filter removal.

I saw this on a YT short video. Tried it on my last oil change and what a difference. This cup trick and the fumuto valve makes for a lot less messier oil change. Will be doing it from now on.

I checked tier web site. It is veteran owned and “assembled “ in USA. So not USA made!?!
