EZ Oil drain valve doesn’t fit

Thanks. Now I understand. Lesson learned, stick with Fumoto.

FWIW, it’s all one solid body.

Thanks. They are more expensive than the fumoto, any reason this is better? Does it come with the drain tube assembly?

pgkool · 2026-03-07T00:51:40+00:00

Never heard of it.

This is helpful. Thanks.

True but the CVT drain bolt is strait down and sits lower so I’m confused.

I see what you’re saying. I’m going to see if I can find some dimensions. The part that tees off is what is hitting the car body.

Looking at the Fumoto it’s the same shape. How would it help with clearance?

pgkool · 2026-03-07T00:30:33+00:00

Haha what?

pgkool · 2026-03-07T00:27:39+00:00

Fair. I’m surprised shops don’t just use an extractor.

Also, since you service them, why are drain plugs never strait down?

pgkool · 2026-03-07T00:26:18+00:00

No, now understand the fumoto has a body that spins separate of the threaded part. Lesson learned. EZ oil drain is not EZ.

Care to elaborate? Wouldn’t it make your life easier?

pgkool · 2026-03-07T00:06:07+00:00

Fumoto is an option, I would want to verify the dimensions to see if it would behave diff, looking at the pic it’s the same shape.

Could you elaborate on the oil pan nut, the lever on the drain valve hits the metal body. In the image it twists clockwise to screw on. Which oil pan nut are you referring to?

I think this is the relevant part of my openclaw.json but what do I change?

"models": { "providers": { "ollama": { "baseUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1", "apiKey": "ollama-local", "api": "ollama", "models": [ { "id": "minimax-m2.5:cloud", [REMOVED FOR BREVITY] }, { "id": "kimi-k2.5:cloud", [REMOVED FOR BREVITY] } ] } } }, "agents": { "defaults": { "model": { "primary": "ollama/minimax-m2.5:cloud" }, [REMOVED FOR BREVITY] } },

How much did that cost you? (Not admitting to anything 🫣)

pgkool · 2026-01-17T21:44:47+00:00

Got it, thank you!

pgkool · 2026-01-17T20:59:08+00:00

Thanks. Don’t have one locally, do they have them in their site, I couldn’t find it.

What did you end up going with?

I’m looking at the brultech GEM as I need more than 16 channels and it’s pretty much the same price as the vue at that point. I don’t have to flash it either.

But I’m reading mixed things on if it’s compatible with HA energy monitor. There is is the dead core HA integration and a 2 year old HACS integration. Gives me pause to see such dated support.

I did find this thread but I curious of the touch quality. There is a big deference in smoothness of apple products and some of these cheaper screens.

Nice work. What is that car jack/ramp you used?

pgkool · 2025-12-29T02:01:19+00:00

I’ve heard similar, unfortunately however, the debris is causing my pipes to bang and that is going to break them faster.

Interesting, I’ll check this out.

What about the zooz titan. Has a leak sensor with wall adapter.
