Anyone running this combo? Yesterday, I did my first oil change since picking up the valve - well, that's not quite true. I had it at my last change but didn't have the necessary adapter (was told I didn't need it). I had coupled the adapter and valve together before crawling under the truck only to find out that the crosspipe was too close to put it in. That was my first hint of trouble. I took them apart and they went in (barely) individually. Trouble I see is that the nipple on the valve winds up too close to the crosspipe. I slipped a length of clear plastic tubing, which I bought just for this purpose, on the nipple with some difficulty and the hose kinks because it pushes up against the crosspipe. Now, if the nipple had a 90 degree bend in it, then things would be okay. As it is, I'm not sure it's worth the PITA. Next oil change, I may be yanking it out and sticking the OEM plug back in.
