What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[the_tool_man]

I had one years ago like the Femco. I just didn't like that you needed that special fitting in order to get it to open.

On the EZ Oil Drain valve that I have (like the Fumoto, but chromed like pictured above) the lever is spring loaded and sits in a notch. You have to push it against the spring pressure to get it out of the notch for it to turn.

Mine (Fumoto) arrived today (thanks Amazon Prime). Now that I've had my hands on it, I like it a little better. It takes some force to rotate the valve. And there is a notch which holds the lever in the closed position. The lever is spring loaded into the notch. The little plastic clip snaps on with enough force that I'm not worried about it coming off. I'm more worried about losing it during an oil change than anything.

I honestly don't get this one. I use a triangular pan with a filter peg and a spout at one corner. I pull the plug and let it drop right in so the gasket soaks in the oil. Maybe I just like fishing it out at the end... I dunno. IF I place it rightly, I don't have to move it at all during the drain and it pours nicely back into the empty jug.

I do too. I also however enjoy using normal drain plugs, and also seem to have a habit of dropping the oil filter in the full drain pan.

I do that sometimes too. Isn't it the best when you get splashed with the dirty oil too !

 

[CHOO CHOO]

Hahaha I always just let the filter drop in the oil. I get it out when I pour the oil back in the jug. I don't use a standard pan though, I have a low height old storage tote that I use.

I don't care one way or the other about getting oil on my hands. I already have to crawl under the truck, so dirty hands happen anyway. I got it because where I change my oil (the only level spot in my driveway at the house) is about 200 feet from my shop, where the tools are. Tool-free oil changes will be nice.

I am wondering how much longer it will take to drain, as the discharge opening in the valve is pretty small. But I can always find something else to do while I'm waiting, I guess.

For those of you that do oil analysis, a drain valve makes getting a sample clean and easy at anytime
