Probably three different test scenarios
- stock
- w/ Fumoto valve
- w/ Fumoto valve and on ramps
I use ramps when I do mine

Trying to sort through a lot of different opinions in different threads, and I am wondering whether anyone has actually measured the difference in the amount of oil left in the 2.5 CX-5 pan when using a Fumoto valve vs. the standard drain plug? From what I've read, it sounds like the threaded portion of the valve may be slightly longer (3/16" ??) than the thickness of the pan, but since the valve is going in the side of the pan, and not straight up into the bottom, how detrimental of an effect does that extra length actually have?
