You need the F107SZ for the 2015-2019 Slingshot with the GM Motor.

Thanks. I finally got around to ordering the F107SX drain valve and the ADP-107SX needed to fit the recessed drain hole on the Slingshot's oil-pan.

you will love it - it takes a good bit longer to drain, but it so easy you won't care. just open the valve and then go have a cup of coffee and catch up on the morning news

I've had the older F107 valve since my second oil change back in 2015. I just wanted to switch to the SX version since it has full adjustability and after replacing my oil pan when I installed my Hahn Turbo, my old F107 valve ended up upside down and I never got it to install with the valve on top. Plus, the newer SX valves are supposed to drain a little faster than the older version.

yea - my valve ended up upside down, but I never much worried about it - actually makes it a bit easier to open and close - - I had already purchased mine before I knew about the SX, probably would have gotten that one if I had known, but at this point I see no point in changing it - - as they say, "if it ain't broke - - - -"
and dont let the picture fool you its actually below the pipe in front of it - just the camera angle makes it look closer than it is

Looking good! Angle that valve down just slightly. It'll help it from getting dirty when draining.

Seems like a good idea, but I'd probably install the SX version so it's pointing backwards and down a little. Don't know if it will reduce the chance of road crud building up at the drain hole of the valve, but it shouldn't hurt anything.

they do sell little rubber/plastic caps that you can put over the nipple to keep it clean - I have one on my valve

Hee-hee.... rubber / plastic nipple caps.
Do you have to order them in several different sizes, or do you get an assortment like when you buy rubber ear nubs for your bluetooth headset?
Okay.... my humor is at a low point now!

all kidding aside - here is a link - Fumoto F-Cap
they say its for the long nipple valve like I have, but I see no reason why it wouldnt also fit the shorter nipple and for only a buck it might be worth trying
-
Also you could check with the vendor that sells the vinyl lug nut covers once you know the size. A lot of people sell the vinyl pipe fitting caps, you just might have to buy a few hundred at a time
-
Well, I think the rubber caps are a great idea too, but my suggestion about angling it down was related to when you change your oil. Know how liquids always wick around the opening they are trying to go through (think pouring water slowly out of a cup)? Angling it down will keep the oil dripping down off the lip without running back and getting all over the bottom of the valve itself. I haven't had any problem with road grime, but since I'm getting rid of that oil anyways, I don't really worry about it.

Did my oil change today... about 20 minutes.
Decided not to get one of these. I have tool enough and room enough that I don't think I need it.
...and no nipple caps required!

I just ordered another 10 ea. K & N oil filters off of Amazon. I think it was $5.43 each. They have gone up since I ordered the 25 from Summit Racing for $4.25 each. I use two each every 3 or 4 months. I see the price was a low of $5.43 to almost $15 ea. be careful where you buy for any oil filter. I even order the Mobil 1 5 qt. jugs from ShopMyExchange.com 4 or 5 at a time

Naaaa .. you need one!

I do not think so!

They're convenient, but not absolutely necessary. When I installed mine just before the 10K miles service, the mechanic at the dealer seemed to really like it. I find its advantage to be I'm less likely to burn myself trying to get the oil pan plug out, but it is convenient.
-
Even though I change oil on 9 or 10 vehicles, I don't feel like I need this. From the user descriptions it doesn't sound like a timesaver except for time spent under the vehicle. One bolt is pretty easy for me to remove and the pan drains in the time it takes to swap out the filter.
