LS swap it. There aren't many cars that aren't improved with an LS under the hood.

Another reason to do your own oil changes and verify no leaks at start up.

while I personally dont know you...thats 2 people I know of where a quick lube cost an engine. A friend of mine took a taco in, they forgot to tighten the drain plug....few miles later...no oil. Jiffy lube paid for a new engine. ( in oregon when i lived in oregon). After moving here I heard of another person, friend of my son, where the toyota dealer did not install the oil filter canister correctly on a newer taco....plastic canister.. but owner caught it quick when he left and went to get gas....and that was a dealer. Towed to dealer and they fixed. Just another reason I try to do all my own stuff.....got nobody to blame for me if I mess up.

I’ve never used an oil change service in my life on my personal rigs. I just don’t see the point…Why would I pay somebody to do something I can do? Worst part yet is you wait in line, to have them only drain and refill oil. Your paying more for less and taking more time to do it? The only damaged drains I’ve ever witnessed have all been caused by quick lube places.

If you absolutely have to use a service because, reasons, even if they’re lazy ones, at least go to a dealer or a reputable shop. Someone that will actually inspect the vehicle for other potential issues.

I use one one of these and can reach up through the oil-drain hole in my skid plate and open the valve with one hand. The length of clear hose I have on it rides on the skid plate and I just pull it through and into a receptacle.

Edit - This is the model I have, I believe: F133N: Long Nipple Oil Drain Valve With M12-1.25

Made in Japan, distributed from Santa Rosa, CA.

I was going to switch to a magnetic drain plug. Those valves are tempting but I be afraid of failure and loosing all my oil. I also use either a copper washer or get the toyota paper aluminum seal gasket fir the drain plug. Those seem to work very well..

I agree - I was worried, too, but the lever takes a rather firm push and a turn to open. Extremely well-made. They are used on all kinds of heavy machinery worth orders of magnitude more than passenger vehicles. It's also well protected under an aftermarket skid plate. I used an OEM crush washer, I believe (memory fading). Won't be buying any more of those, if so. I'll be the guinea pig on these....

Lifetime repair/replace/refund warranty - starting to sound like a salesman - sry.

Cool. I became aware of these in a weird way - via a snail-mailer from my city offering a free Fumoto valve to reduce oil spillage into the gutter/storm drains for people doing oil changes in the street. Must have been targeted by zip code LOL. Used in on my 2nd Gen and bought one for my 3rd gen when I sold the 1991. No more issues with stripped plugs, messy draining, buying washers, etc. Set it and forget it. I'd like one on the transmission, too, but I don't think they make one with the correct thread pitch/depth/size or something.

Edit - to make matters worse (for purists), I'm running a K & N oil filter that I believe is "good for at least 10,000 miles" I won't wait that long, but I like that they have a 1" nut on them for easy removal.

You aren't the guinea pig, that's for sure. I put one on all of my cars (ok, not the Volt, but it needs an oil change like every 20k miles).

This includes my lowered cars with the drain valve 4" off the ground. Never had a problem, leak or issue in 15+ years now.

I also run a short bit of hose down out the skid plate hole for easy draining on the 4Runner. I just cut it to length so it *just* sneaks out of the hole. If the hose gets pulled off by a rock, I can replace it...

This has got me thinking....where is the best place to buy a brand new 5VZFE? I know it's possible to buy em, I spoke to a Toyota supplier in Florida once that had access to stock. Anybody else done this?

Cool, I certainly figured they were in use by some OGs here. This forum can be very OEM ONLY at times when it comes to engine plumbing and for good reason, but these valves are just great IMO.
