    For those that use the Valvomax drain plug and own an aftermarket engine skid, is the access hole for the drain plug large enough to get your fingers in, to unthread the cap?

    From fumoto,
    Standard valves
    1. PREPARE:
    • Assemble: Place the blue fiber gasket (not required for tapered thread or O-ring valves) onto the valve so it will sit flat between the oil pan and the valve once installed.
    • Prepare: Remove drain plug from oil pan. Drain old oil. Clean drain port area before installation.
    2. INSTALL:
    • Hand tighten: Thread the valve into the oil drain port by hand, do not cross-thread.
    • Fully Tighten: Tighten with a crescent wrench on the body of the valve* â…› to ¼ turn past hand tight, or to the value shown on the torque chart for your valve model. Do not over tighten.
      • Do not use a wrench on the head of the nipple outlet if present.
      • An adapter may be required if the valve cannot be completely tightened due to contact with the oil pan.

      • Recommended Torque 177 in lbs (15 ft lbs)

    Just barely with RCI. I have to be careful not to tighten the cap to much or I can’t get enough leverage with fingers and thumb to unscrew it.

    Same here. It's just large enough for both removing the dust cover and screwing on the drain adapter.
