Have had mine for about 6k miles. I'm lowered like 3". Driven through Oklahoma snowy winter/ice as well as salted down roads.

Also took a road trip from OK to AZ to CA to NV to AZ to OK, about 3,500miles round trip through a snow storm in Albercerque and Flagstaff. Zero issues. No special maintenance. Open valve, drain, wipe down, close.

Just go to www.qwikvalve.com and use the car selector. I personally am using the F108S and after two winters, zero problems.

Have used fumoto valves on 2 other vehicles for the past 3 years in an area that sees significant snow/salt and dust.

No problems with the valve failing to function.
