Fumoto elbow joint with p/s fan shroud

Is anyone using the F316L fumoto (removable elbow joint version)? I'm considering installing the power steering fan shroud on my 05 MCS and wondering if the elbow on the fumoto will save me having to remove the shroud for oil changes.

Thanks.

I am using the Dorman EZ Drain on my 06' MCS and I have to remove the shroud for oil changes. I purchased the EZ Drain from O'Rilley auto parts for $11 and the part number is M14-1.50.

I am using the Fumoto Valve on my 2002 MCS R53. I got the one that doesnt have the elbow joint on it and it fit with no issues. I've had it on there for about a year and a half now and couldn't be happier. Not a single leak, no need to get a new drain plug every time, no jacks or anything needed for an oil change. It's probably one of the greatest investments for your mini in my opinion...
