My car inadvertently became a test subject for skidplate+fumoto recently. Does that count?
You got a discount..
Did that all end up working for you?
Someone bumped a different thread in your sub-forum today, which reminded me that I never responded with an update.
The skid plate ended up needing some slight modification in order to clear my Fumoto quick drain valve: contact between plate and valve gouged the plate a bit and caused the Fumoto to loosen and eventually spew oil all over the place... during an auto-x. Oops!
I don't have long monkey/Inspector Gadget arms, so fiddling with multiple washers between the plate and the car while lying *under* said plate & car, for every oil change, is not an option. Fortunately, I know a guy...
My brother was able to make and weld on some custom spacers for a neater, more permanent fix.
Yay! It clears!
