The valve is a fumoto valve( www.fumotovalve.com ), allowing you to drain
the oil without having to screw out the drain plug and having to hunt for it
in the drain pan...
plus, it keeps you from burning your hand, allowing you to drain the oil
while it is hot (oils flows better when hot)...
I think one Purolator oil filter and the Mobil 1 oil filter where rated the
best...
Hope this helps,
