to be honest i remember these from a whillleee back, people were kinda all saying the same things about them...
i still think its cool, wouldnt have to buy packs of crush washers anymore (seems i always use them up on other peoples cars, and always need to buy more for when i do mine) but it IS $25 and i could find a number of other things that could be used for.... but still, i want one :P its nifty. convenient, without being excessive.
i can see the concern about knocking it off, but i dont think i really smash my drain pan all that often...

Ugh, just a plastic o-ring like any other replacement bolt and it'll seal just as good as factoryOriginally posted by HondaFan81It doesn't say what is the gasket/washer seal made of.
IMO, that is the weakest point of the design, if it is made of inferior material. Not that I care to find out, but someone should.
15 minutes and free>10 minutes and $29?Originally posted by deevergote
10 minutes and $29 > 2 hours and $20.
I don't just go to anyone to do my work. As you see above, I've been burned... but the place I go to, I have full faith in.

How will this pay for itself again?
Some people don't have time to or knowledge to change their own oil. A trusty mechanic is better than a DIY backyard mechanic that have no idea.Originally posted by Straight SuccessWhat the bleeeppppppp is wrong with y'all. If you own a CB7, you should not let anyone change your oil. That's like letting another man suck on your wifes tits. I really don't trust too many people fiddleing with my car. Too much at stake. I've seen some really fowl stuff done at dealerships, Jiffy Lubes, and beyond. It's a good idea, but I don't think I will invest in one; still an excellent idea. I hope the inventor makes millions.
CHANGE YOUR OWN OIL PEOPLE.
And what is up with owning a CB7 and not letting others do oil change? A suppose its reserved for those driving the higher end cars?

Oil in yo face is good. It makes y ou feel alive and you can show your friends your burn marks later on. Anyway I wouldnt mind one of those valves for my transmission it would make life easier. But then the only thing I would worry about is hitting something and accidentally triggering the valve for lowered vehicles allowing my trans fluid to drain out. Kinda reminds me of a air brake drain system on big rigs.

If you're right, that's what I was afraid of. I'd replace that washer with an OEM style/metal crush washer. Plastic gets brittle with heat over time and cracks = there goes your sealing capability.Originally posted by FalderUgh, just a plastic o-ring like any other replacement bolt and it'll seal just as good as factory
