I just installed the Valvomax quick drain system. It went on smoothly.
It’s great because my drain plug does not point downward but is on the side which is awesome since I have the same clearance as before. Also, not too worried since I lifted my Rogue.
I chose this quick drain system because I am now changing my oil every 3-4K oci for the next 100k instead of the long 12-15k oci I used to do with Amsoil SS.
Moreover, I used the Nissan Copper crush washers since I’m more comfortable with those instead of the flat washer that this system came with.
Now it does not matter what oil I use since I’m changing it more often. I am also changing my fram ultra every other oil change.
Even though my Amsoil routine was during an extreme severe service schedule, I still liked keeping my oil for a long oci because it’s damn expensive and I wanted my money’s worth.
Now that I finished my Amsoil stash and doing shorter oci’s, I’m going to party with my Valvomax drain system from this point on. Moreover, I will use whatever oil is discounted, on sale, or rollbacked.
Now all I need to do is change my diff fluid, but I’m in no rush since I got Amsoil severe gear oil in there. I did change the transfer with regular valvoline for the hell of it.
I’m more worried about my original cvt transmission.
Finally used all my NS-2 fluid and planning on getting the Amsoil cvt transmission oil when I hit the 20k interval.
All in all, my engine is smooooooth as butter, knocking on wood.
