I decided to change my oil today while the weather here in the Pacific NW was nice, so I won't have to do it again until late March. I used the Femco quick change valve for the first time and I have to say it worked nice. It drains a bit slow but there's no mess at all as far as draining the oil. The filter is a different story. I just removed the dust cap and screwed the coupler on with the hose attachment and it started draining. No tools needed and not a drop except in the collection pan. I just left it hooked up for 10-15 minutes and when I came back the oil was drained. But then I still had to remove the filter and of course it made a bit of a mess onto the newspaper I had down, even though I tried to make the oil land in the collection pan. Maybe I'll look for a bigger pan. Anyway at least half the job is easy now!
