    Question Fumoto Drain Valve

    Has anyone used a Fumoto Drain Valve on their Micra? If, which kind did you get (short or long nipple)? Does it stick out the bottom of the car?

    Thanks.

    Never knew those existed until today. Looks like something else to break off when the Micra bottoms out, as the oil pan is the lowest point and has no protection.

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    If you got the Short one it might be ok. We had a couple of these on work trucks. They tended to clog easily. But that was easily remedied by a pipe cleaner. Id be concerned about bottoming out and having the valve open somehow.

    You gotta be kidding me. I just looked that up and that is one piece of LOL crap. You're just asking for trouble. KISS. Especially something as important as an oil drain plug. Even more especially on the Micra...of all cars... it is jacked up so high and the oil drain plug is so easy to reach.
