We still don't have many posts re: Fumoto oil drains. I recently did my first oil change on a 2.0T, and see that an oil drain would be very helpful to avoid removing the larger shield. Anyone use one of the F106/S/SX drains? Any other brands used?
Fumoto Oil Drain

I have the F106SX waiting for install. I looked when I had the bumper off for my grille install and it looks like it will fit perfectly. I’ve been waiting to get to 3,000 miles to do the oil change/install, but it looks like that may take a while now that we’re on lockdown. Maybe I’ll do it today out of sheer boredom. ?

Let us know how the install goes and if you can get a couple pics to share that would be appreciated. TIA.
If you are on a desktop, the left side pane allows you to enter make, model, year of car. The 106 series fit. Looking at different vehicles, the selector tool usually indicates if a spacer or other important considerations must be made.
What engine/model do you have? The drain bolt on the 2.0T is literally right at the edge of the larger under cover/shield. It's likely that the F106SX can be positioned to drain the oil to the right side, but may need a hose to keep it from draining on the shield near the end of the oil drain. If you don't mind removing 5 screws every time you want to change the oil, a Fumoto isn't needed as it drains cleanly without obstruction or mess. I only had 3000 mi on my vehicle that spent all winter out of salt and road debris, but was surprised how much debris had accumulated above the shield, and the screws had some corrosion/dirt resistance (from the one trip I had to make on salted roads). Perhaps some grease or no-seize will find its way onto the screws at the next oil change. ?

I have the 2.0. I forget what it looked like when I was under there, but I’ve used the fumotos with hoses on all my previous vehicles and I remember it looked good when I was under there. I like using the hose to drain directly into an old oil container for easy disposal.
OMG.... Their websites aren't mirrored. How weird. Try this one:
For Honda 2019 Accord 2.0L Turbo
The powerful shopping cart software for web stores and e-commerce enabled stores is based on PHP5 with SQL database with highly configurable implementation based on templates
www.fumotooildrainvalve.com
I see they are not shipping right now due to shelter-in-place mandate in CA.
Great idea since our 2.0T holds 5 qts. ?

This is what I used and it fits great!
Finally got around to my first A1 service and installed the F106SX on my 2.0T. Perfect fit! It does not protrude past the protective panel. Tightening torque is 18ft-lbs and the outlet barb is 3/8” (I add the EPDM rubber cap to keep crud from building up inside).

Where did you buy the rubber cap? I called Fumota several months ago (I have three other cars I want to switch over) to see if they sold the caps, and all I heard was crickets on the other side of the phone.

Buy Fumoto® Valve Online | Replace Oil Drain Plug is misleading with what fits the 1.5T engine. It's not "may require" it's "requires ADL-106"

I installed the regular F106 and I could not spin it. Needs ADL extension.
