Originally Posted By: Nick1994 No wonder it didn't work, you cut the threads off! Why not take your tires off and use an angle grinder with a cutting wheel to take off half the studs so that they don't stick past the lug nuts? Sounds pretty dumb eh? You misunderstood it. I did not cut the...

Originally Posted By: Bottom_Feeder Your thread title is misleading. The Fumoto valve didn't fail. You modified it and gummed up the threads, and stacked washers which caused a drip. Not the same thing. I should've said "failure of using fumoto valve". The original set-up (valve+ a signle OEM...

Originally Posted By: 2015_PSD It would seem that making a modification to something like this increases the overall risk of a failure in the part which in this case could result in a catastrophic failure of the engine. How much oil would be left in the pan with zero modifications? Less than a...

Bought this F107N valve for my 08 Milan V6 AWD about six month ago, and my oil change is due so I went ahead for the first time to do-it-myself. First of all, have to say, using ramps make it so much less intimidating and easier compared to using jack+stands. Let the dirty oil drain and then...

I hate myself for hesitating on that ramp deal @AAP. Now they change the coding of their site, and the ramp would not take any further discount. Originally Posted By: bubbatime There are a couple tools I wouldn't be without when changing oil. The first one is a Lisle 63600 oil filter wrench...

Also, I have a question regarding the transmission fluid change. This one does not have an easy serviceable trans filter, so the dealer are going to do flush, or DIY drain and flush. Now the car hits 70k miles, and I believed trans fluid was flushed back at 30k, I wanted to flush it for once now...

Originally Posted By: OtisBlkR1 p.s. my local Ford dealer stated $249.99 for the transmission service. NO. My dealers quoted 200-290 (not including tax and supplies) for the flush. I actually wanted to have it flushed at this time and will consider drain and refill later on. But I saw...

I'm thinking changing it to Fumoto drain valve too. Do you guys know if the drain plug is recessed that I need a extension for the drain valve (like a T shape) http://www.amazon.com/Fumoto-F-107N-Engi...rds=Fumoto+f107 extension: http://www.qwikvalve.com/fumoto-adp-107-adapter.html

Please share your experiences and required tools with me. What size of drain plug does it use? Does it come with a plastic cover for filter and oil pan (saw a video showing that, and you need to remove 3-4 extra bolts to get to the filter). What wrench do I need to use to prevent rounding the...

I have this 2008 Milan AWD, with Aisin transmission. It just passed 70000 miles, and I believe the transmission fluid was changed at 30000 miles. Thinking about do a drain/refill myself, and sounds like it's a simple job since this one does not have a serviceable filter, so no need to drop the...
