I don't know if I mentioned it, but I got home from Milwaukee Sunday to find a copy of the new 2004 S2000 brochure in my stack of mail. I've been wearing out the pages, lusting over each picture. It won't be long!

 

Yes, please! That would be really cool to not have to jack the car up everytime I change oil. The last two times I had to jack my del Sol up to rotate his tires, he fell off of the jack - BOTH TIMES! That had never happened before. I suppose it could have been because I was too cheap to buy a real jack and was just using the stock one, but I've learned my lesson. The 2nd time the del Sol fell of the jack, it was twisted and worthless. I don't want that to happen to me!

Oh yes... my boyfriend bought a REAL jack after all that happened.

You need the model number F-106 or the F-106N. Mine as pictured above is the F-106N. The N model has a nipple so that you can put a hose on it and direct the flow of oil.

You will also need the adaptor model # ADP-106. The valve will not fit without the adaptor.

If you buy this item do not tighten it to the torque specs. It is brass and will strip. Us your judgement, and feel.

You can buy this directly from Fumoto at www.fumotovalve.com or from Ricks. I bought mine from Fumoto. I received excellent service. I received the valve within days of my order.

You will also need a shallow 7 quart oil pan. The car doesn't hold 7 quarts (it holds 5.1) but anything smaller will allow the oil to splash on the driveway as you slide it out from under the car.

Deb, have a safe trip (if you're not already in the air)...

As for me, I'm off to Chicago in a few hours, then on to San Francisco on Friday for the weekend. Probably won't have a chance to check in, so hopefully the toaster-wanting will go away! See Ya!
