What is Reddit's opinion of Fumoto F106N FN-Series Drain Valve with Long Nipple with Lever Clip?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Like others have said, changing it yourself is easy and while it may not be much cheaper than taking it to a shop, it gives you some peace of mind.

A jack/jack stands or ramps is really all you need. A basic socket set to remove the drain bolt (should be an M14 x 1.5mm if Google is correct).

Personally I'd suggest replacing the drain plug with a Fumoto quick drain valve. It'll make oil changes even easier in the future.

I got the F106N from Amazon

I can’t right now but I believe this is the valve. It’s been a few years now and but this looks right, except the cover is new.

Yup! Pretty sure they're brass. This is the one I've got on my truck: https://amazon.com/dp/B07D995XRF/

Buy one of these oil plugs: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07D995XRF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_RWCAH68TCRMQ93RJB5EC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Watch this video before you do that.

I change my own oil, not because I'm into doing car work but because I don't want to have to take it all the way across town and burn a half day for the free oil change.

I do mine in 15 minutes after I put a Futomo valve on the oil pan.

I was real close to getting a Tacoma until I saw this. Deal breaker for me.
