Well worth the cost! I originally ordered from the company itself, but seeing as how I can get it a little faster with Amazon, I go this route as long as I know the specific valve I need.

Well worth the cost! I originally ordered from the company itself, but seeing as how I can get it a little faster with Amazon, I go this route as long as I know the specific valve I need.
Reduces spills.
if you're reading this, then you've likely already considered the magnetic drain bolt, the Votex drain plug with screw-on cover, and the pump (to pump oil out from the dipstick hole or filter housing) already. I was trying to avoid having to remove the drain bolt every time. I also wanted to drain right into a 5qt jug. The Votex looks good but I'm a bit leary of the screw-on cover since it depends on an O-ring that's going to be subjected to thermal cycles of heat and cool from the hot oil. People have had good success with pumping out the oil from the top, but I'm old-school and believe the best way to get waste out is exactly how my body gets rid of waste...from the bottom. Your mileage may vary.
Long story short, this valve fits without the need for the adapter, and the undercarriage cover goes over the valve perfectly to protect it (since it protrudes about an 1" from the oil pan.)
In order for the valve to clear the oil pan as you tighten it, you will need an additional 14mm washer between the included fiber washer and the valve body. My wife drives an Acura MDX, so I had a bunch of 14mm crush washers that I used for this purpose. I recommend using a crush washer (and not a regular washer) since it can deform slightly to contour to the valve body.
The included blue fiber washer is the one that makes contact with the oil pan. Then the 14mm washer goes between the fiber washer and the valve body. I did not use a torque wrench -- just common sense (don't over tighten it.) With the 14mm washer, there is just enough clearance from the oil pan as you tighten the valve such that I did not need to use the Fumoto adapter. Using the adapter would have made the valve stick out from the oil pan too much, thus the undercarriage cover would be hitting it.
Do not put the crush washer against the oil pan -- put the fiber washer against the oil pan.
The valve without the adapter does stick out about an inch, but there is plenty of clearance in the undercarriage cover such that it goes over the valve just fine and fastens to the underbody no problem. I was nervous whether the valve protruding from the oil pan would be a disaster in the making, but the cover protects it perfectly.
Make sure you test for leaks before putting the undercarriage cover back on! Also monitor the oil level on the MMI. My install was leak-free.
Lastly, there are folks who are worried that the valve (as opposed to a drain plug) will cause about 1/8" of oil to remain at the bottom of the oil pan. It's because when you screw the valve into the drain bolt hole, the valve body protrudes inside the pan. If you're OCD and need to get every last drop of used oil out, then this may not be for you. I change the oil every 5000 miles, so it's kind of a moot point for me.
The Fumoto valve is pricey for what it is, but it is very well made and works as intended.

The F106N appears likely the most common aftermarket unit. This one fits almost everything in the family fleet including some models of Hyundai's, Mercedes. and Honda. If ordering be sure to get a unit with the plastic safety clip included. The clip is $12 if ordered later.
