Guess I should have been clearer. You need the F107SX valve with the included locking clip AND the ADP-137 Adapter to mount the valve. The oil pan drain hole is recessed and the adapter allows the valve to mount.
-
I don’t realize they had a 360.
Mine is the valve + adapter right out of the pan. -
I've done 16 oil changes so far and am content with stock drain plug.
-
You need the extension to provide adequate clearence.

I have to come clean. I bought one years ago. Did not fit. I had no extension. Willing to sell for $20 including shipping. I can send photos if needed.
-
I bought the adapter so it would not stick out below the oil pan....low ground clearance...

I've used a Fumoto Valve on my 2015 Slingshot for several years now. There are 2 things to keep in mind.
First, Fumoto cautions against having the valve point down to prevent anything striking the valve and leaking all of your oil. Definitely not something most of us would ever want to experience.
Second, keep in mind that the drain hole inside the valve does mean that a very small amount of used oil (and any metallic particles not suspended in the oil) will not drain out. I do not feel this should ever be a problem, especially if the oil is still warm from a recent ride at the time it's drained. It's just something that I realized while studying the valve's design. If this were a real problem, I seriously doubt Fumoto would have so many dedicated long-term customers.

I added one of these a few years ago and have done three oil changes with it. I love it. I can just reach under with an oil pan, and then reach down and open the valve.
If you are worried about some old dirty oil being left behind you can always flush it out with a little clean oil.
-
I like it because it reduces the chance of cross threading the plug.

I once put a similar product on an old Yamaha 400 Seca about 20 years ago.
Anyways out on a ride I bumped a curb; after parking where I shouldn't). Looked down and no oil so I kept riding. Couple of months later when I went to do the oil change the plug was crushed, so I had to pull it out and replace it.
-
I've had them on both of my trucks forever. They are one handy tool for changing oil

Got around today to doing a complete service on my slingshot & installed the Fumoto plug, guess ill have to my next service to see it perform however slow it might be, not wasting my new Royal Purple...... I also have it tilted just enough to where its above the frame

Mine came on Thursday. I don't need to change my oil again for a couple thousand miles so it won't get installed for another month... I have those valves on both of my trucks and love them.

Received this in email today from Fumoto. I purchased one. It states you get the 3/8 hose if you purchase this month. I'm fairly sure I have 3/8 hose but now I'll have more. I purchased one of their valves and installed on my last service, it's installed but I haven't gotten to actually use the valve yet.

I think you’ll find that this is one of those items that you really don’t have to have it but it sure does make your life much easier when you do- enjoy!
