Frequently Asked Questions


No. The EZ Oil Drain Valve incorporates the "ball valve" design of valves used in pressurized gas applications and will not leak. Every single valve is constructed under precise specifications and pressure tested, ensuring a perfect seal upon factory approval. The EZ Oil Drain Valve is produced from an ISO-9001 certified factory.


No. When installed, the EZ Oil Drain Valve only extends about 1/2" inch from the oil pan more than a stock oil drain plug in its closed position. The valve's effective locking system requires a double-action mechanism to open it, preventing any accidental openings. Unlike spring-loaded gate valves, the heavy-duty ball valve construction will withstand any engine vibration.

Attention:

For users under extreme conditions:

Using the EZ Oil Drain Valve under extreme circumstances such as, off-road vehicles, agricultural tractors, and logging equipment (i.e. corn fields, brush areas), it is advised that a hose clip as shown below be applied for additional safety and security. Hose clips can be purchased at any hardware stores and will securely keep the lever closed in the locked position at all times.

Hose clip for additional safety

Your EZ Oil Drain Valve is constructed out of corrosion-resistant forged brass, stainless steel, and nickel-plated for added protection from the elements. Brass is the ideal material as it can withstand temperature extremes as well as harsh environmental factors. (I.e. salt, water, oil, chemicals, etc.) Your EZ Oil Drain Valve will outlast your engine.


The EZ Oil Drain Valve for passenger cars and light trucks is approximately 7/8" long. This means that the valve only extends out 1/2" more than the standard plug head outside from the oil pan.


Installation is easy. Simply follow the instructions below.

  1. Remove drain plug and drain oil.
  2. Hand install the valve until tight, and give 1/8 turn with a small crescent wrench on the body. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN!
  3. Close the lever and refill with engine oil.

When it's time for an oil change, using your EZ Oil Drain Valve is simple.

  1. Lift up the lever and turn counter-clockwise.
  2. Turn back the lever to close.
  3. Make sure the lever is secured in the locked position.

Yes. Engines with a recessed oil pan may require an adapter (A-106, A-107, etc.) to prevent the valve from hitting against the oil pan wall during installation. Although our application chart indicates engines requiring an adapter, it is always recommended to determine the shape of the drain port. (In some cases longer adapters are necessary, i.e. part number AL-106). See Sizes & Application for more details.
