Ronin Oil Drain Plug

[pilotgore]

Well?, I did last week but for some reason I deleted them from my phone. I have to install rear winglets this week end and I will take pictures and post them.

Sweet! I’ll probably make that my next mod.

I rigged some tubing and a ball valve to make it easier for me to dump the used oil back into empty quart containers. If only there was a clean solution for the oil filter!

Have you tried one of these?

It works very well for me.

Fumoto valve is done and apparently in tester hands.

Form-A-Funnels work very well, but if you happen to have a 3D printer and are proficient in 3D CAD, you could whip out something like this:

I got wind of these a while back here on the board, and originally the seller had them listed for the '18-'20 cars. I inquired about it fitting a '15-'17 and he had no idea if it would, but offered to send me one if I would verify fit on my '15 so he could expand his fitment range; he did and it fit like a glove (with the big FP filters also) and works better than any of my Form-A-Funnels since it stays in place while you flounder around with the filter. No mess, and I'm usually a master of fouling my shop floor with oil change dribbles.

I have no idea if the filter to frame relationship is anywhere close to the same on a GT350 but it might be worth a shot to contact him.

I LOVE this funnel! Works perfectly and keeps filter oil from getting all over the skid plates. I hope the creator is making some money off of it.

I have a form a funnel and I just so happen to have a 3D printer. This looks killer!

That will work, but still messy, got to remove drain plug. I have the manual lever valve drains for all of my car. You never have to remove drain plug and No Mess, you can easily open the valve a little for taking oil samples or full open. No mess, no funnels, no home made drip cups. I'm old school, I want easy with no mess.

This funnel is for the oil filter. I also don't mess with a drain plug because I have the Ronnin valve. Does the same as you've described your valve. I'll never not have a valve of some sort on a car again.

I put a wipe towel on the cross bar below the filter to catch any dripping when I removed the filter. You would think they could have designed that cross bar just a little bit farther back or curve it more than you would never get any oil filter dripping on car/frame etc. As far as the valves, where the hell were they when I was younger and racing. Shit, the countless times I had drained my race cars, motor cycles ETC getting hot ass oil all over your hands and making a mess. These valves are a definite plus/must for me for I have 5 cars and I do all of my own work. Thanks

I read a good one on the forum, instead of fighting a towel . Wrap the cross bar with tin foil, it stays in place.

Used it the last oil change, worked well.

Ok, will do. Thanks

Easiest imo is to just punch a small hole (two-three easy hits on a small pointed screwdriver with a rubber mallet) by the bottom of the filter and wait five minutes. Almost all the oil pours out and into the big container I have below for draining the oil. Then just put a plastic bag around the bottom of the filter while unscrewing it if you want to be safe, though I think the last few times I didn't bother with the plastic bag and no spillage anyway.

Not feasible for the newer canister cartridge filters.

Yeah, you'd need a drill to make the hole in those! LoL

I just unscrewed my oil filter quarter ways, let drain for a bit, then I unscrewed the oil filter the rest of the way, No Issues with messes removing the oil filter.
