Which fumoto oil drain valve to get?
I searched but could not find a part # for the Fumoto oil drain valve.
There are 2 different types of oil drain plugs, as well as an optional adapter:
F106
F106N (with nipple, which I believe is used mainly with a drain hose)
Optional adapter ADP-106
Question:
1) To those who currently use the Fumoto valve on their FD, did you get the F106 (regular) or the F106N (with nipple)?
2) Did you get the optional adapter?

I had a Fumoto valve for a few years. The crappy thing is, the little paper/fiber gasket they give you eventually deteriorates over time, 'causing an oh-so-annoying minor leak. It's not catostrophic, but a thin bit of oil is noticeable around the plug. I suppose you can try using a crush washer, or something else that might seal better. But, I have since went back to the OEM plug and crush washer.
That's just my .02.

am not planning on using a drain hose, but i am wondering if i need the adapter.
i suppose i would try to use a crush washer with the fumoto so i won't have to worry about any leak, minor or not.
am wanting the drain valve mainly so i can change the oil twice a year without needing to remove/reinstall the bolt. more for convenience than anything else.
am also looking at the fram suredrain.
