This thing look REALLY interesting for those of us that don't get free oil changes ;-)

<IMG SRC="http://www.fram.com/products/acces/acceimg/hoseacttr.jpg">

basically it's just a little valve that goes into your oil drain plug, and when you screw on the hose, it opens the valve and out comes the oil.


nifty.

all your oil while you're driving and your engine goes boom

Those kind of things always worry me. Valves do fail.

Default yeah....but no more crush washers...no more trying to break that bolt loose...
now if they can only make a one-button release oil filter, i'd be in heaven ;-)
