The usually supplied 90 degree plastic nipple is no engineering marvel. It is made to go over the short nipple. Can you not find some/any plastic nipple to fit inside the drain portion of the Fumoto valve? It wouldn't take much, as the oil stream is not under much pressure when you open the valve. You planned on draining your oil without raising the car? Just reaching under the engine and letting the old oil flow....where? You mentioned no room for a drain pan. These Fumoto valves make a neat & clean job of an oil change, but you do need to have room to attach a hose to the valve and drain oil into a jug. Why dirty up a drain pan when you can do it neat & clean into a plastic jug such as your new oil came in. Good luck!
