The two vehicles of mine that MIGHT get a Fomoto valve both have plates and shields and guards around the oil pan and drain plug that limit access to that area. Think about how a Fomoto is made and has to be installed: you can't use a socket to tighten it up as you would a normal drain plug. You've got to use a flat wrench and have plenty of side access to thread it in tightly.
I need this valve the MOST on my 3.0 V6 Accord, but the way the oil pan is made there isn't room at all to install or tighten a Fomoto (the pan "falls" down or is formed down over the plug to protect it I suppose). So that vehicle is out of the question.
Any tips on how to install on vehicles with limited access due to plates and guards? Thanks.
