ValvoMax Unveils FilterMate™ and WearScope™ at SEMA 2026, Bringing Cleaner Oil Filter Changes and Engine Wear Visibility to DIYers

LAS VEGAS — November 3, 2026 — ValvoMax today unveiled FilterMate™ and WearScope™, two patent-pending products designed to tackle common frustrations during an oil change: the mess of removing an oil filter and the difficulty of seeing what drains out of an engine. Both products are making their debut at the 2026 SEMA Show at ValvoMax Booth #36229 in South Hall Upper.

Building on the company’s Quick Twist Oil Drain Valve, the new products expand ValvoMax’s approach to cleaner, easier oil changes while giving vehicle owners another way to monitor potential engine wear.

FilterMate™: A Cleaner Finish to the Oil Change

For drivers who have already simplified oil draining with the ValvoMax Quick Twist Valve, removing the oil filter can remain the last messy step. FilterMate addresses that challenge with a permanent, low-profile mounting disc and a twist-on bag system designed to contain the filter and residual oil during removal.

The disc stays installed on the filter mount between oil changes. When it is time for service, the user attaches the coupler and bag, then spins off the filter into the bag—helping keep oil off hands, vehicle components and the garage floor.

WearScope™: A Closer Look at What Comes Out

WearScope connects to the ValvoMax Quick Twist Valve drain hose and uses a rare-earth magnet to capture ferrous metal particles as oil drains. Its clear housing and removable cap allow users to inspect collected material after an oil change, providing an opportunity to notice potential signs of engine wear that might otherwise go unseen.

Designed to work with the Quick Twist drain hose, with or without the FlowVent™ bag valve, WearScope adds an inspection step to the existing oil-draining process.

See Both Products at SEMA

SEMA attendees can visit ValvoMax Booth #36229 to see FilterMate and WearScope, explore how they work with the company’s oil-change system, and discuss retail and distribution opportunities. Both products are expected to become available in early 2027.
