Question Fumoto aftermarket Drain valve..

...who has one on their XK8/XKR, and how is it working for you? And, because 5 Different Models Are Shown for XK
which one did you choose?
I'm interested in getting one, as it seems like it would make oil changes SO much easier.

Thank you in advance!

Easy choice dbtk44, the F106SX looks to be easiest to use use, it allows for 360 degree rotation by use of a banjo bolt, this will allow you to place oil flow where it best suits to drain.

On my '02 XKR I use the F106N Fumoto drain. It installed exactly where I wanted to go with no directional issues.

Amazon Amazon


In my view, the banjo bolt model is not nearly as strong as the solid unit, and the extra maneuverability is not needed.

This is just my opinion,of course and not based on any type of scientific analysis
