EZ oild drain valve

by Terry Smith in General Tech Discussion one year ago

Hi,

Has anyone experience of the EZ oild drain valve for the oil contianer? In particular,

Is it sufficient to rely on the O ring fitted to the device or did you use the normal crush washer as well?

Did you lock wire it? If so was there any difficulty with doing so since no lockwire feature is provided?

Any other problems?

I have contacted the manufacturer but they say they are not able to comment as the valve is intended for auto use.

Thanks!!

Terry

Hardly a Rotax 9 engine topic - should be in general.

Personally I think the risk , of inadvertent oil loss, far outweighs the the occasional (for me every 50 hrs, others 100 hrs) inconvenience of an oil change.

I'm not a fan of these quick drain valves either. They drain way too slow and you don't get a good flush on the oil tank. Too much debrie can stay in the tank bottom. Plus I hate just sitting there waiting for the oil to drain.
