how exactly did you extract oil from the top? i tried to change the oil using a PELA6000 oil extractor but the dipstick hole was too narrow for the tube to go in.

Alright, maybe I should get a fumoto valve..but I just bought 5 oil drain washers to match my five new oil filters

Can anyone point me to which one I need to order?

I also use a Fumoto valve. Easy access from the top, no problems.

Is the Fumoto vavle any lower than the oil pan? My concern would be scraping it and busting it. (i'm lowered 2.5")

Thanks
It will not be lower than your oil pan. It's pretty secure and well protected when installed.

Never heard of the Fumoto Valve before until now. Just read up on it, sounds very interesting. Anyone have pictures on the valve itself?
