I had a Fumoto valve on my accord, did the job ok, although drain a little slower.
I wanted to try the Valvo-max (same as Stahlbus) just because I thought it was cool and a great idea.
Out of the two, I like the Fumoto better. I have to jack the car up about 6 inches or so for either one, but the Fumoto one is easier and quicker for me to just jack it up, reach under, remove the safety clip and flip the valve open.
The first time using the Valvo max as I was screwing the cap with hose on, the hose would turn with the cap as I screwed it on. I had to make sure it was always either in the pan or pointing towards the pan to make sure when it started flowing it would go in the pan. Maybe if I was up on ramps or a lift and was high enough to have the hose in an empty 5qt container it may have worked better.
I think the Valvo max looks better but I’m probably going back to the Fumoto or the stock drain plug next oil change.
