    looks good. i just want to ask how regid is the lever from opening??? does it take a really good force to open it, or is there a possibility it could open :eek: if something touched it....maybe like a stone etc...

    EDIT: It needs to be pressed and rotated so it is unlikely - PEX

    Its spring loaded, needs to be lifted up and turned :)
    Not really much of an issue, but i do recommend the NON NIPPLED version.
    straight from the website,

    Q. Will my Fumoto Oil Drain Valve open up while I am on the road?
    A. No. The valve's simple but effective locking system requires two distinct actions to open it and its heavy-duty construction will withstand any engine vibration. Over 2,500,000 Fumoto Oil Drain Valves have been sold in the past nine years and no problems have been reported.

    also..........
    ENDORSEMENTS
    The Fumoto Oil Drain Valve has been tested and granted "Genuine Parts" status by six major motor vehicle manufacturers in Japan, including Toyota ,Nissan ,Mazda ,Mitsubishi ,Subaru and Isuzu. These approvals were not granted easily and gaining them was a testimony to the quality and durability of Fumoto Oil Drain Valve.

    5000km comes and goes pretty quick if u use ur TT as a daily.

    this product will save u time esp if u use an oil filter that u can change every second oil change (amsoil)

    with the drain valve all u need is to slide under and flick it open .
    If ur just changing the oil it shouldn't take anymore than 5min :thumbup:
