Fastest oil change:

Femco offers a wide lineup of oil drain valves. Each type with its own advantages.
When maintaining a large fleet of vehicles, we recommend the Click Drain plug. With the combination of a Femco Click Drain plug, a Femco clicker, and oil EVAC unit, hot motor oil can be drained or refilled within seconds.

Femco drain plugs used in conjunction with a mobile EVAC unit allow oil to be changed on site or in the field. As the system is fully sealed, there is absolutely no risk of oil spills or contamination.

6 Steps to do:

In this article we will discuss how you can drain your oil faster with Femco.
Changing oil is a tedious but important task. It takes time and it is a dirty job. 
Femco makes this easier, faster and safer for you.

1. You need an oil plug from Femco

    Femco has a wide range of plugs and many different sizes.
    If you want to know which plug you need, look here:

    Which oil plug size do i need?

2. Work on a level surface

   Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface. This way the oil will sink to the lowest point.

3. Remove the cap from the Femco plug

Remove the cap from the Femco plug. 
The oil change process starts from this step. The oil can be changed either hot or cold. This is because no oil will leak. 
The oil change can be performed quicker and safer!

Step 1 oil change

4. Attach the drainer and let the oil drain

It is easy to connect the Femco drainer to the Femco plug. When the drainer is turned on the plug, an internal valve rises (as shown in the figure at right). The oil will flow through the plug and drainer from this point on.

Easily collect the oil in a jerry can or container using the drainer.

Oil change step 2 and 3

5. Cap back on the plug

    When all the oil has been drained, the cap can be put back on the plug. The cap protects the plug from dirt          and damage while driving. The oil has been drained in a safe and clean way.

6. Fill oil

    The final step is to add clean oil. Use a funnel and fill the new oil carefully so that no spillage occurs. Make          sure there is enough clean oil by checking the oil level by chekcing the dipstick.

Oil drain plug for Caterpillar, much faster oil change!​​​

Caterpillar vehicles and machines are widely used in all industrial sectors worldwide. 
For articulated trucks, dozers or any other Caterpillar vehicles, it is essential that maintenance is performed safely and quickly. Changing the oil is a part of the maintenance that must be done regularly. Femco can speed up this part with the oil drain plug for Caterpillar!

  • Oil can be drained either hot or cold. So there is no need to wait for the oil to cool down. This makes oil changes faster.
  • The oil change can be performed safely and quickly on site. Vehicles do not have to go all the way to the workshop and this saves a lot of time. 
  • Femco’s oil drain plugs have a lifetime warranty!

We recommend the click drain plugs for the Caterpillar!

Why should you choose the Non-Drip Plug?

Femco recently offers a new oil drain plug: the non-drip plug. What makes this plug different from the others?

The non-drip plug, like all Femco plugs, provides a quick, safe and easy oil change. However, with other typical plugs, there is a small residual oil left in the coupling and plug after the oil change. With the non-drip plug, this is not the case.

The non-drip plug works together with a coupling. Both the plug and the coupling contain a valve. The valve is at the bottom of the non-drip plug and at the top of the coupling. These valves fit together perfectly, so there is no free space and no oil can leak out.

Benefits Non-Drip Plug:

  • The non-drip contributes to a cleaner and safer workplace. Oil on the floor can lead to dangerous situations. With the non-drip plug this will no longer happen!
  • When performing a lot of maintenance, a small amount of oil leaks between each oil change, that adds up to a lot. So, the non-drip is perfect for a lot of maintenance.
  • With the plug from Femco, oil changing can take place on site. For the oil change, the vehicle/machine does not need to go to a maintenance shop.
  • The plugs are made of brass and high quality materials. This has the advantage that oil can be replaced both hot and cold. There is no need to wait for the oil to cool before servicing. The plugs are sustainable and have a lifetime warranty.

Mining machinery:

In the United States, mining is a major component in the industrial sector. The maintenance of mining machines and vehicles must be done properly and safely. Femco’s non-drip oil drain plug makes this easier, safer and faster. The benefits listed above are certainly relevant to the mining industry. The oil change can be done with hot or cold oil. The replacement can also be done on site. This saves a lot of time and the mine processes can be resumed quickly.

Femco already supplies plugs for several mining machines and vehicles. For example Bell Equipment uses Femco on their products.

Femco will also be present at the MinExpo 2021 Las Vegas!
