Installed a F-106 Fumoto valve in my neighbor's 2010 Accord.
I bought it back in November after dealing with stripped pan threads.
Fools at the local, cheap oil change place did that foul deed.
Fortunately there was enough threading left for the Fumoto to catch.
While the pan dripped I applied Permatex oil resistant sealer to both sides of the paper gasket provided.
I hit the opening with brake cleaner and ran it in.
Very pleased with how much bite I got.
The threading landed the valve in the perfect attitude. The lever is straight up and the opposite side is parallel to the pan's bottom.
Frame elements completely shield the pan as well as the valve.
5,000 miles of anticipation until their next oil change to see the Fumoto do its thing.
I read that removal of the oil fill cap helps the oil flow out better.
True excitement....but you know that already.
