Fumoto Oil Drain Plug 4 '98?

Mar 27, 2006 2 Replies

I'll be going to my son's this weekend to "help him" with some car repairs.



He bought a Mustang awhile back ('98 V6-232 3.8). I've helped with a couple of repairs on it, but I'm not real familiar with it and he's not much of a mechanic, but he's slowly catching on.



Anyway, one of the things we'll be doing is changing the oil. No big deal, except I'd like to put a Fumoto drain valve on the thing to simplify this in the future. But if I remember, the Mustang is pretty low to the ground. While the fumoto works well on most cars (including my two low to the ground Toyotas), there are a few rigs where it's better not to tempt fate.



I can buy the valve locally, but probably not where he lives, so I'd rather know before I go.



Anyone have any ideas?



Fortunately, that motor is ridiculously easy to work on and there is a LOT of room in the engine bay compared to the V8. It's a good motor to learn on.

I don't think it would be an issue at all. The pan isn't THAT low to the ground.

Cheers,
