Question regarding Fumoto Oil Drain Vavle

I have done a search for fumoto and found nothing. Has anyone installed a fumoto oil drain valve on the car? If so model did you buy? It can be seen here. http://www.fumotovalve.com/
A friend at work bought one that he said didnt fit on his 1999 civic even though there website said it should fit. I just want to be 100% sure before I order.

Thanks,
Oren

Call em up and get the thread form on the valve. If I remember right, the oil drain is a standard pitch 12mm thread.
I know fram suredrain works though, Grey installed one.

"Drive carefully at all times, and if you run over any foreign object on the road, pull over and check the valve for any damage or leak" . I would be afraid of these for this very reason. It's even worse if your lowered. I could imagine the valve be knocked off very easily.
