FAQ Femco

• Femco drain plugs are guaranteed for life for workmanship and materials.

Standard & Compact Drain System:
Install the Femco plug in your engines oil pan. When it’s time for an oil change, simply unscrew the dust cap and screw on the Femco drain hose. The action of screwing the hose on opens the internal valve, allowing the waste oil to drain. The drain hose allows for the waste oil to be drained directly into a container for disposal.

Click Drain & Non-Drip System:
These systems operate with a quick-disconnect clicker instead of a screw-on connection. They can also be easily combined with an evacuation unit for even faster and cleaner oil changes.
