Looking for a oil drain quick disconnect
« on: March 09, 2012, 08:59:15 AM »
I change the oil in my GV 250 about 6 times a year.  Someone advised me "If you're having to change the oil that often, you may consider quick-disconnect plugs, instead. That way you'll put less stress on the threads, and it'll be faster"

Anyone know where I can find a quick disconnect that'll fit my GV 250?

Faster maybe, but since when do threads wear out?

346,000 on a ford explorer 5.0. Oil change every 5000 miles do the math. Oil plugs don't wear out unless you over tighten them.

BTW... More important the oil be changed in time intervals than mile intervals(IMO). If your changing the oil every 2 months you could definitely get away with more mileage than recommended and not have to worry about it so often.

When I change oil,  I drain though the side plug  (17mm).
Then I pop the bottom cover off  (I think it's the tappet adjustment
port).  I clean the screen and the cover which may or may not have a
magnet in it.  This is the one you don't want to overtighten.  I broke
the flange off and was down for 2 weeks waiting on a new one.

Be sure you order one or two screens,  o-rings, covers and plugs
instead.  I change every 1,000 or so miles.

Yes , I actually tested it the first time by pulling the plug after and nothing came out . Not a drop . Easy , quick and clean . You can even take the waste oil to be recycled in the container itself . Bought mine at Lowe's , no regrets .
