    I bought 4 of these in the last group buy.
    Got one in my zed, one in an F100, one in my truck, and one i haven't used yet.

    No leaks or dramas of any kind to report from my end :)

    Fix'd.

    Unsure about the pulsar, website recommends M12x1.25 (same as the zed) for most post '89 nissans. Pulsar may fit into this category too, but I cannot guarantee it without having you pull the sump plug, and measuring the threads yourself.
    Copy the list and add your 3rd order if you wish to proceed.

    3 out the 4 I purchased were different and there was no problem ordering different ones, one I even had to return as it was the wrong thread but they exchanged it no worries.

    Any more interest?
    Overall people seem quite happy with their purchases in the past GB, I may remind all involved of the lifetime warranty of the parts, and high-standing status as OEM on a number of vehicle manufacturers.

    Less than 10 people and this GB will be canned. More than 20 will see a more competitive price.

    Stay tuned.

    just wondering if the warranty only covers the actual valve? ie. if the valve fails and I have some catastrophic engine failure, do I only get the $35 for the valve

    Yes, the warranty only covers the valve itself.
    A hose clamp or zip tie will secure the valve lever from accidental opening (unlikely as its two separate, forceful movements)

    Remember guys, this is a valve of the same design that holds pressurized gas so is almost 100% leak proof for small molecules of GAS. Would be 100% leak proof for hot molecules of oil made of of thousands of carbon atoms in a chain... It facilitates the oil drain process as part of a regular oil change. It allows hotter draining of oil, which can have it closer to its hot flowing viscosity without causing severe burns to your hands. It is also less messy.

    Im not here to make the hard sell or get things onto your cars that is dangerous. I just want a better price for ME, and think that others may enjoy using this product too. Everything has an inherent risk, but all risks should be calculated. Cases of catastrophic failure would have a very low probability.

    Another testimonial: I've had one on my Z32 for ages now, and it hasn't ever leaked or accidentally opened itself. It might take more than a few oil changes for it to pay for itself (those crush washers are what, 40 cents?), but it's well worth it for the convenience.

    Oil changes are so much faster and so much cleaner now. I highly recommend it.

    For those that are worried about it opening (or intend to use it on a track car), the lever has a hole punched through it for some lockwire to be inserted.

    is there anychance of getting the ones which can atatch a hose to, would there be clerence issues im just extra lazy..

    the version with the nipple where a hose can be attached are available, but effectively doubles the length of the unit, making ground clearance more of a problem. Not really worth it in my opinion, only used in cars where the sump plug is obscured by the steering rack or other obstruction.

    The maximum savings will be had at 20 or more participants. Still need a few more people to get the max discount from the supplier.
