[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1415677, member: 28773"] I installed a Fumoto on my Duramax diesel about 2 years ago. Mostly to keep the oil from running onto the front skid plate at the end of the drain cycle during changes. The Fumoto extends the oil stream past the back edge of the plate. Poor engineering on GMC's end honestly. The handle has to be lifted before it can turn, it requires some effort. That is a good thing. So far it has not leaked at all between oil changes. It does flow more slowly when draining because the internal bore is smaller than the drain plug opening. It comes with an excellent gasket that replaces the factory crush washer. It is a high quality valve, very well made and does exactly what it is advertised to do. Honestly I would not consider putting one on my FJR or my DR650 because it would have to hang down below the engine. On my truck it is tucked up behind and above a skid plate and it does not point straight down. I would never consider it on my truck if it were used in deep mud either. [/QUOTE]
