I will One Up You, Install a barbed fitting in the catch can, install a barbed fitting in the ball valve, install a 2 foot hose between them Mount the ball valve to your frame easily accessable while doing oil change. Drain Catch can from under car. Gain Extra storage space for collected oil by the volume of the hose. Ted.

Think I might do this next time I change my oil. That little drain plug on the bottom of my RX can caused me havoc for probably 3 months. The short story was a I would get random CEL. Since I don't have a reader I would have to go to Autozone and check one out to read/clear it. Kept saying my fuel banks were running lean. I kept thinking it was an O2 sensor. I would switch them around and things would be good for a couple weeks and then CEL again. Finally I threw in the towel and went to ADM performance. Andy put it on the HP tuners saw the leak and narrowed it down to the drain plug on the RX can had come loose. I know it was my fault for not really tightening it up correctly in the first place but that caused me a lot of stress and concern (and about 4 trips to Autozone) for a few months.

Anyone ever considered a 12v solenoid valve and switch for a remote drain setup?

If so, for how much more? I'm looking for a single valve, IOM CC and an IOM breather with a white filter. |

We do not however offer Color matched cans. I also advise against the Breather Cap as it lets Unmetered air in the system causing fuel trims to have to add fuel. Ted.

Did this on mine as well. I just did it because I have a hard time getting my big hands under the can to drain it. This makes it a lot easier.
I thought about the remote drain as Ted suggested, but just did not think it would look good. It also made me a little uneasy knowing there was plastic tubing down there with oil in it. If it was accidently pulled loose there could be a mess. In my world, it seems instead of accidents, I am being clumsy.

The lead time is too long and the possibility of damage is too high for us to handle this. Ted.

I got my black Rx CC from Ted, retrofitted it with a Swagelok needle valve on the drain. No pics, sorry. Had it in a few days as he stocks them.
