I'm one of those nutty car owners convinced that the key to a car's longevity is oil changes at least, and no more than 5K miles -- 3.5K is about my usual.
I want to avoid stripping the oil pan plug threads and I was thinking about installing Fumoto valve system. It looks quite functional but I don't know how Kia would react when I ask them to put it on at my next oil change. Would it impact my warranty? And what's the difference between a Kia "official/OEM" oil filter and a normal name brand filter? (Yeah, I know, about $10, right?)
Also, is this valve available at most auto parts stores or is it a special order item? What do you know? Thanks.
