[s-cars] Fumoto valve installation

[Kirby Smith]

Just unscrew that wire conduit temporarily and install the Fumoto.  Then
reinstall.  You should be able to orient the valve in the desired
direction - I did.

Yes, slighly less oil will be removed due to the diameter of the valve
raising the level of draining.  However, if you were to shim up the
right wheel ramp when draining, I'm sure there would be little left.
Anyway, Mobil 1 and equivalent is good for a lot more milage than most
of us typically wait for an oil change, so I don't think the residual
will matter much.
