Might want to add "Small Engine" somewhere in the title.

That's not PVC. But it is a good idea!

I wouldn't trust some
Plastic to hold the oil in. 6.50$ is a great deal until your engine blows.

Yep. I had this yellow plastic crap as part of the original equipment on my $2,200 Briggs and Stratton Generator. Three years later this piece of crap cracked and leaked all the oil out all over the place. Good thing I caught it before I blew the motor.

I switched it with out with an all metal solution described in the the youtube video above.

This 100%. I have fumoto valve on all the cars I've owned, which are all Japanese cars, and I do my own oil change. Fumoto valve makes everything so much easier.

Fumoto is for crybabies. Real men don't need no fumotas.

Please do some research on these prior to installing.

My Husqvarna had one of these and it was a mess. I googled and everyone cut the mower plastic so they could install an iron pipe and extend it getting rid of this.

I also did it and it was the best decision I've made. No more messy oil changes. Now I have an iron pipe with a cap and just unscrew the cap letting it drain out.

This used to leak from the factory even after attempting to tighten I still didn't have luck. It lasted the first oil change.

No worries of breaking these off on lower vehicles? They look amazing.

Here is a good Youtube video. I did something like this when that yellow plastic one I had leaked all over the place on my generator.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGfXpM1J2g4

I did this on my lawn tractor. Very easy oil change with the right angle pipe. I was concerned about my original failing.

Frankly, I would think twice about any of these kind of things. The oil drain plug tends to be quite low on a vehicle. So getting something that sticks out seems like its asking for trouble.

Let me ask you I have a Honda lawn mower would this fit it's such a pain that you have to tip the mower to change the oil maybe this would be a little more easier for me if it would work

I just tip my Honda and B&S mowers over into an old antifreeze jug that has most of the side cut out. Then its easy to CAREFULLY open the top cap and pour the old oil into another container for disposal. FWIW.

+1. All my homies use fumoto on our race cars.

Have a couple on wife's / kid's cars, work great although somewhat slow draining. I would NOT install a Fumoto valve on a low riding or lowered suspension car, period.

Quote from mleach99

This is exactly what i was going to point out. Mine was leaking years ago when delivered and it needed fixed. Easiest thing to do was unbolt the engine from frame and jack it up a few inches for clearance. I think it took a 15/16 deep socket. It was definitely a pain.

.
That is the trouble with installing the OP on many engines, including mine. A socket will not fit over it because to close to the frame and you have to use a wrench that typically does not have enough room without unbolting and raising the engine.
==========
Not trusting these type of drain plugs, I just used a longer 3/8 nipple with an end cap to bring a little further out past the chassis to drain into a can without making a mess. Once or twice a year I have to use a small pipe wrench or Cobra pliers and no big deal.

Right, had one on the car for over 6 years. They make a angled version and it is just a short nub, not sticking out far at all. Doesnt change clearance on my SUV.
