For those of you who've purchased and installed the fumoto valve, did you get the adapter also? If you go to "Check Size" for Honda cars, the website says "('98-on Accord, Prelude, S2000 w/4cyl. engine requires adapter ADP-106)", but if you click on the ADP-106 adapter itself, it only says "('98-on Accord requires adapter ADP-106)" and doesn't mention the S2000 or Prelude. So, I'm a little confused and assume I have to get both the valve and adapter, but I just want to make sure the adapter really is required before I place my order.

Also, does anyone who uses the fumoto valve have any negative experiences? Thanks for your help!

(for anyone who may be wondering what this is, more info at www.fumotovalve.com)

 

Yes, the adapter is recommended for the S. My valve and adapter are waiting for my first oil change.

 

You need the adapter. It moves the valve away from the pan enought that it will screw on.

 

thanks for the replies!

 

Be careful installing the adapter. It has a thin wall and can be twisted apart if overtorqued. Screw it in by hand and then carefully snug it and you should be fine.

 

I have the Fumoto valve and adapter installed in my car and I like the way it eases oil changes.

As stated earlier, it is easy to overtorque the adapter, so be careful.

 

thanks for the heads up on the potential adapter overtorque!

 

do you need the nipple for the adapter too?

 

The Fumoto valve assembly itself is available with or without a nipple. I chose to get the one with a nipple to better clear my under-chassis x-brace and make oil draining neater. If you don't have an x-brace it doesn't matter much unless you want to attach a hose to the drain.

 

im about ready to order the valve..by any chance does any one have the discount code?
