Default Fumoto Oil Drain Valve - Easiest oil change ever!

Sorry guys, I gotta whore my goods again.
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=709347

Introducing the easiest way to change your oil with no need for tools or jacking up your car!
Just watch the video below to see how easy your oil changes will be.




Our Oil Drain Valves make oil changes so much simpler. Install this valve instead of your drain bolt to drain your oil with no hassle and never a worry of a frozen or stripped drain bolt. These valves are double sealed to prevent leakage and years of service. With its forged brass and stainless steel composition, it resists corrosion from the water and mud that it may be exposed to. The lever locks to prevent accidental opening of the valve.

For some vehicles, like the S2000, you will never need to jack up the car to do an oil change again! Just slide a drain pan under the car and release the lever! This makes oil changes so easy, you can finally do oil changes without a garage or in the dead of winter! Save hundreds of dollars in labor for a simple task.

This video shows how easy it is to do an oil change after installing our Oil Drain Valve. Even my girlfriend Mina can do it with ease!

Installation
Steps for installation:
1. Remove OEM drain plug
2. Let oil drain
3. Screw in the Oil Drain Valve with provided washer
4. Do not overtorque the Oil Drain Valve.

Steps for an oil change after Oil Drain Valve has been installed
1. Open hood
2. Place oil drain pan under oil pan
3. Unscrew oil filter
4. Open the Oil Drain Valve
5. Screw in new filter
6. Add oil

Oil Drain Pan used
Autozone carries an oil drain pan that will fit under S2000s lowered 2 inches as shown in the video.
It costs about $2: Link here. The drain pan measures 3.5" in height.

Cost:
$29.99 for the Valve and required adapter

FAQ
Q. How much does the Engine Oil Drain Valve stick out from the oil pan?
A. S2000s equipped with the Oil Drain Valves need not worry about ground clearance, as the valve extends parallel to the ground. If your oil pan does not scrape, then valve will not. In fact, many points of the frame are lower than the oil pan or the valve.

Oops, forgot to add information about the oil drain pan. I found an oil pan at Autozone that fits perfectly under the car. Mina's car is lowered about 2 inches and the oil drain pan clears it. If I remember correctly it costs $2.

Sure you can get it locally. I can bring it to the next meet or we can meet up somewhere.

How much lower does the bottom most portion of the valve add to the Drain Bolt?

(I can't open the links at work)

Juice: The drain valve does not make it any lower. There are many points of the frame that are lower than the oil pan or oil drain bolt/valve. I will get a picture of this soon.
