You would need a grade 5 nut on the other side for that torque.

I have a fumoto on very vehicle. In my ford I drain the 14.5 qts into 3-5 qt jugs with a short hose. No mess and no drain pans.

Yes, they do drain slower but what's the rush? I'm sold on the Fumoto like the others. My Tundra holds just under 8 qts. I open the Fumoto, take a break and come back in 15-20 minutes. Gave up on drain plugs years ago and use Fumotos on all my vehicles.

I have the Fumoto Valve on my DMAX. Yes slower drain than with drain plug. But if oil is warm (which it should be) mine has drained by the time I have greased the front end and removed and replaced the oil filter. Thus it does not add any time to the overall procedure in changing the oil.
