It seems to me to be as messy as just using the drain plug. I suspect the main body of the Valvomax is more than just hand tight in the pan. The cap is just hand tight.

Looking at this image from Amazon, it seemed that you can use a wrench to tighten the Valvomax and the cap/cover can be hand tighten. At $50, I'm not ready to purchase it yet but curious about it.

Well said.

No, just put it in high so you have better access to the area underneath.

Thank you!
I have it on mine and will change my oil with it for the first time this weekend. There is 2 oil changes using it on my son's 4Runner. Works great and it is not as messy as a regular drain plug. Oil doesn't flow out until you screw on the other side that comes with the valve which has a nipple and hose on it that drains into your oil container....plus you don't ever need to buy crush washers again.
It was installed with same torque spec as the drain plug. The cap itself is just hand tightened because it is just a protective cap.

I assumed it comes with the draining hose and everything, right? Thank you for sharing.
Yes it does.
You can also get the oil drain bag with it's own shutoff valve if you want. (edit: seems the bag valve is unavailable right now)

Ok, I think I will need a new oil filter housing....looks like it's quite busted. If use the same one it might be difficulty to remove the next time. Anyone know what the part # is for this oil filter housing? Many thanks!

Okay, so I found this one part # 156200S010. Does it look like the correct one?
That is the correct filter housing. Many on here have opted to get a metal filter housing from other Toyota engines and then swapping on the longer center section for concerns of the plastic filter housing cracking. Venza/Highlander/Camry V6 engines have the metal housing.

Do not get an aftermarket parts store filter housing, even the aluminum one, they are known to have issues.
Part number for the metal venza housing is 15620-31060
As @Nothinghead mentioned you'll need to move your longer filter support tube over to this housing. It's easy to do and documented everywhere online.

Is it true that the price for that is only $29.95 from Amazon? Our local Toyota dealer wanted to charge me around $96 for the plastic version.
Most people use the Fumoto for easy draining. It has a 90 degree turn ball valve rather than this screw in valve.
These are the parts I use to make a clean oil change.
Fumoto F103S (other models, but this is the one i use)
Fumoto Nipple to hose adaptor kit (not totally necessary, but if you don't have a bunch of spare hoses lying around, this one definitely works)
Motivx Toyota Oil Change Kit (there are also knockoffs of these parts that are cheaper and work fine. I have a mixed parts bag of the 3 parts in this kit)
The housing is the same size. There is a stand pipe in the center of the housing that is shorter on the Venza than it is on the plastic housing for the 5.7. This can easily be swapped between the housings.

Okay, just found out that I'm missing a 12mm screw that holds the metal cover underneath the oil filter. Does anyone know what the specification or part number of these screws? Any chance I could easily find it at a local hardware store? Thank you.
