i have the sure drain from fram on my car and i love it take a lot less time to change the oil and no more stupid washers...my only concern with this thing is that you might hit something and it will open....

From a mechanical aspect, it looks like it'd work great. Still have to deal with hot oil etc when taking the filter off though.

I personally wouldn't pay 26 bucks for it, but I am poor, and cheap.

With the size of the plug that small, its gonna take you 20 minutes just to drain out all the oil! I'd rather do it the traditional way...

mm yeah i was kinda thinking that too Arax...

Red4WS, you like that fram deal? i thought about that also

I saw something like that at the auto parts store seems like a good idea. But like stated before you still gotta wrestle with filter. What I do is go by some sheets of visqueen or plastic table cloth stuff you can find at any grocery store. I just lay that crap out and let the oil just fall on it. Seems to work out no oil on driveway. [shrugs shoulders]

Are there different sizes of the Fram SureDrain?

Why not just get a drain bucket from AutoZone? They're like $8.

yeah, I was gonna say, "Oil Drain Pan"? being so low, I would defnatey worry about something catching it and opening it, whoops. I'll stick w/ my magnetic drain plug, shameless plug for Marcucci Motorsports

these are great valves. Alot of subaru owners use them. If you can wait, fumotor offers discounts every now and then that brings the price on them closer to $20. The only problem i see with the hondas is that alot of guys are lowered quite a bit and that might pose a problem as the valve protrudes slightly.
