    Don’t think it matters what you use, if your playing in the rocks, the mission is the same, don’t smash the under side.

    Thought i saw some one above say something about smashing something. Maybe i miss read.
    Ive already smashed the under side,.... with protection, and will again. :)
    I guess i dont get the point is what i was saying. But hey,... do you.
    EDIT- and some oil getting on me, when i do a oil change, isn't worth it to me. Im not all that scared of oil on me, as mentioned above. But that's me.

    I use the ValvoMax on my Jeep Wrangler. I appreciate the drain tube as my aftermarket skid plate has a small oil drain access opening that created a mess when draining with the OEM drain bolt. It now drains directly into a container for a drip less oil change. The only downside I can see is you have to store the drain tube somewhere until the next oil change. I have to give ValvoMax two thumbs up.

    I keep my tube in the plastic bag it was shipped in, with my filter wrench, extra filters and my oil funnel. I love that I can drain most of the oil right into an old 5 quart jug if I want.

    I've had the Valvomax for over one year with no issues.
