Title: Gear Oil Valve?
Post by: Vision on July 17, 2016, 09:49:48 PM

The hole for the gear oil bolt stripped and while its been fixed for the moment I'm thinking about a long term solution. What does everyone think of installing one of these?

They make them 12mm which isn't that far away from where mine is drilled out to.

I am sure it would be OK but those things just make me nervous. If it leaks...... :-\

They have great reviews on amazon.

Q. Will my EZ Oil Drain Valve open up on the road?

No. When installed, the EZ Oil Drain Valve only extends about 1.5 inch from the oil pan more than a stock oil drain plug in its closed position. The valve's effective locking system requires a double-action mechanism to open it, preventing any accidental openings.  Unlike spring-loaded gate valves, the heavy-duty ball valve construction will withstand any engine vibration.

I think I will reconsider my previous position. I assumed it was a spring valve. My bad  :)
