Karma: Fumoto oil valve for Tacoma/4Runner WINNER: KMitch200
WINNER IS KMitch200
Because of my new skid plate, I had to switch from this 90° valve (with short hose nipple) to the straight up and down version. This came off my 2016 Tacoma and should fit most of Tacoma‘s, 4runners, etc. It has an M12x1.25 thread, but It’s up to you to know if this will fit your vehicle. It wasn’t on there for that long and still has a perfect O-ring.
The karmanator will randomly pick in a couple of weeks or so. Post a pic of the vehicle it will go on, too!

That is a sharp setup, like those ATs, very clean. Whoever did your suspension knew what they were doing.

Thanks, but the suspension is stock TRD-OR. I’ll be getting a set of OME MT64s plus leaf springs to get a 2.5” lift soon. I’m getting some slight rubbing on sharp turns with those tires at the moment.

That should fit any vehicle for which that angle is appropriate. It might be helpful to post the oil pan thread size (e.g., 12 x 1.25, 14 x 1.5), if you know it.

I googled it for everyone and edited the OP.

Don’t count me but I love my Fumoto valve on my 4R. Makes oil changes easier.
Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.

Fumoto oil valve for Tacoma/4Runner
It's a cool idea but I'm going to pass... Oil changes are already pretty easy on my 4Runner. A little research and I think this would actually slow it down. But thanks!
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
