Re: [DML] FRAM E-Z Oil Change

["Andrei Cular" <acular1@xxxx>]

We have used these valves for years on inboard boats. If you think the
drain plug on a D is hard to get at try a 29ft sport fish with twin 454's.
The valves that I have used in the past would not fit in the stock location
of a D, I am not sure about the Fram versions. Some people get nervous
about the valve opening while the engine is running but it does have a
spring loaded catch that must be lifted or pressed down, depends on the
manufacture, then rotated 90deg to open the valve.

If anyone finds a valve that will fit the D please let me know.
