In for one of these if they come back in stock/orderable. Emailed jowett st the email on his website before I found this thread but never heard anything

Soooooo nothing yet? Debating on waiting or just ordering the venza setup while Toyota has 25% off all Toyota parts now.
I messaged him a couple weeks back asking same and he said:
“No, business is on a pause right now. If this changes, I’ll let you know.”
“No, business is on a pause right now. If this changes, I’ll let you know.”
Alrighty. Guess I'll be going the venza route. Thanks for the update!
Out of curiosity, what is the venza option?
There is an OEM Toyota metal oil filter housing, which is found on the Venza and other vehicles. I only found out about this a month ago. But it is very well documented by other mudders. I believe that the jowett system allows you to use an ez drain/fumoto, but the venza system doesn't. Just upgrade to metal.

Venza option is great, and also comes stock on a few other Toyota engines built for harsh use cases like the ISF and some of their 70-series diesel options.
Just make sure you read up on the one simple required modification to the part, and avoid the aftermarket parts store copies that look the same but aren’t Genuine Toyota. Users here have reported problems with those.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But with the Venza option there are no ez drain/futomo solution for it correct? I must take off the bottom cap, and either use the little plastic piece, or something like this to to drain the oil in the filter housing, correct?

That is correct.
Personally I don't like those drain hoses. They really slow down the process and it is more stuff to clean at the end of the job. If you put the old drain cap o-ring onto the groove on the plastic tool then snap it in to the venza cap firmly, the oil drains quickly without a mess. Screwdriver into the big hole on the disposable tool to snap it out when it's done draining, at the end of the job that goes into the plastic bag with the old filter.
Fumoto is a great upgrade but only available attached to an unobtanium part at this point.
yeah that's what I figured too. The filter housing needs to come out anyways, Regardless of methods there will be a bit of mess one way or the other. I'll probably do fumoto on the oil pan drain plug. But keep the filter housing stock and use the plastic tool that comes with each filter.
great point.

My Fumoto drain valve failed on me. I went with the ValvoMax train valve. Works great.
How did it fail? On the oil pan drain plug? Did it hemorrhage oil?
Wondering the same. I just installed mine at last oil change but seems pretty bulletproof.

During oil change the ball bearing went into the waste oil when I opened the drain valve. The lever was just flopping around.
I have one of these I used until I got my Jowett filter housing. I thought it was a good way to minimize the mess. I still use the funnel for filling with oil.
This sucks bad! I've got a Fumoto on all my rigs that can take one. I haven't had any issues with one valve approaching 12 years of uneventful use.

Mine must have been a Friday valve.
Yea...the ValvoMax is superior in every way. Nothing against the Fumoto, I have it on my riding mower and Jowett filter. It just isn't as good.
Some two years later I finally had to change my oil. Obviously not driving enough. Which is what happens when one lives close enough to ride a bike to their office. Fortunately I have retired so will be driving more.
Have to say it took sometime to get organized to change my oil once again.
