Yes I can recomend it , I'm pretty sure most vehicles in Japan now come with them stock. As for a price can't really remember but I think it was about 20-30 $

I had one on my wrx, loved it! I got one for the MR but didn't know about the temp sensor on the drain plug at the time. Definitely recommended.

I've had a Fumoto valve on my RA since the second oil change. No problems with it, definitely recommend it for easy oil changes. I think mine was $23.

not bad...
the old guy i work with was telling me to be weary about that, cause of the low stance of my car, if i was to run over a bush or something in the middle of the road, and the chance it could pop open etc etc.

and that if i was ever to drive it in the winter and it might get jammed and gunked up enough that it wouldnt open...

i think he might just be overthinking the idea, and the car doesnt see snow anymore. so i am still feeling good about it.
just gotta get the car fixed first...

damn you valve lash! damn you!!!

Is it that hard to loosen and then tighten one fastener? Never mind I've seen your track record.
