That's our correct size?

According to fumoto site it is. I order the one with the built in extension because the 2.5l mz3 guys are needing the extension.

The F106SW is the one I ordered for my wife's 2010 MZ5. It installed easily. Make sure you do not overtighten since it's made of brass. And I noticed that once it was tight, the valve itself wasn't oriented where the release valve clip and where the oil comes out was at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, respectively. Not a huge deal...just a heads up. This was my 4th Fumoto valve and not one of them has faced down perfectly. Chalk it up to discrepancies between the varying oil pan and Fumoto valve threads.

Could a crush washer be used as a spacer to get the "clocking" right?

I would think so. I don't think it would affect the sealability of the crush washer they provide.

Just curious what does the valve do?

Drains oil. Basically it help you to drain oil with out tools and since you can attach a drain hose, can make the operation process cleaner and directly into used oil container by-passing the catch pan.
Also removes the threat of stripping oil pan bolt from multiple tightening (over-tightening).

Good idea!
