Pure genius!

So I'm shopping around for oil change kits for my B7 audi, and came across this little guy. It will make oil changes a lot easier and less messy to boot.


Can someone come up with something similar for the camaro. It looks like it would be very simple, and cheap to make. Here is the link to the page I bought mine from. https://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B7_A4....0T/ES2208993/

I have a fumoto valve on my vette , but the better choice is a STAHLBUS valve from germany, google it - a lot lower silhouette. As soon as i can find the oil drain thread specs on the camaro, i will mount one. One the v6 it points slightly down, so you have to find one the does not stick down more the the oil bolt. Stahlbus meets this requirement:

If you are in a condo/apartment this is the only way to fly....

The filter is the messy part of the job though. I don't see this being that much more convenient or really saving time over the stock plug

The filter is easy....loosen...then snake a 1 gallon bag on the filter and turn it so it falls into the bag....no mess...been doing it for 20 years...and the valve is great as the oil goes where you want it to go.

I took care of that too. I got the drain tool kit for the B7. I am going to switch to the aluminum filter housing soon.
