The Stahlbus Oil Drain Valve replaces the existing drain plug and provides a faster, safer, and cleaner way of performing oil changes. Once the valve is installed, oil changes can be performed without tools, without risk of burns from hot oil, and without the need to replace the drain plug washer. Simple operation: unscrew the cap by hand, and insert the hose attachment (quarter-turn bayonet joint) to start the oil drain. Optional safety-wire cap available.
The advantages at a glance:
• Easy handling due to quick release cap/hose connect
• Drain valve can not be lost
• Minimized risk of burns from hot oil
• Seal/washer change is not necessary
• Oil pan thread is spared
• Double outlet protection (protective cap and valve)
• Connection to vacuum possible
• Optimal application for discharge sampling or trapping
• Change oil without tools
• Optional predrilled cap for safety wire - race-org approved
Be sure to verify your drain bolt size and thread pitch before purchasing... if it's not listed, it's not available.
