Congrats !

I suggest you to buy a new bolt and change it tho.

 

Yeah, 6 pt is the way to go, but I dont think the ratchet would've done it even with 6pt sockets... it's got too much spring in the mechanism


Thanks nycgps ! I dont think I need a new a bolt.. its not stripped or rounded.. it should be okay.

 

One thing I don't miss about NJ is all the salt/chemicals they put on the roads.....it does wonders to the underside of a car. Its a bit rusty under there.

 

you should never use a ratchet to apply shock loading anyway - sure way to f**k it!

 

time to install a fumoto valve.

I want it. Do you own one?

 

I have 1, and Im going to take it out on my next oil change.

ITs just drains too slow.

 

Good... i told ya a hammer would work.

Just don't tighten it too much.

Now, are you gonna start a thread about your oil filter being stuck?

ha ha..........

 

haha the oil filter was on tight, but I got it off with some muscle

 

yes. it's awesome.

just put a drain pan under the car. Flip the switch and go do something else. When it's done, flip the switch and remove the oil pan.

 

If you decide to sell the Fumotovalve w/ adaptor PM me a price shipped to 99336.
thanks
Rick

 

Maybe a dumb question, but does the fumoto valve work with turbo oi line without tapping the pan for a new hole?

 

a long pipe is what u need

 

If that were the case I wouldn't be using the greddy dual drain oil pan AND the fumoto valve on my rx-8
