Son, me and oil change woes
You people helped so much with my son on changing out his broken car
seat, I'm back again. Today, we're doing an oil change. He insists he was told his 1998 V-6 mustang has two oil drain plugs, but crawling under there, all I see is one plug. He admits that all he sees also, but swears there are supposed to be two plugs. He says that is because a body support part is supposed to bisect the pan and forced ford to put in plugs on each end of the pan. But we don't see the supposed support part either. Admittedly, we don't have the car up on stands or anything, and even though we are both thin, it's tough to get under there. And, while we have CD repair manual for some reason we are having trouble getting it to open today. Is there just the one plug on this car? Tina |

That's funny, my Dad and I have had so many problems getting a simple oil
change done -- from putting in too much oil, to not using a washer on the plug. I don't get it -- how do you mess up an oil change this way! And these are dealers doing it!

Well, we've done them on our Toyotas for years, just the "two drain plug" question that had us wondering. We bit the bullet and pulled the one plug. Thanks, all for the help. I was surprised that the drain plug was metric. BTW, finally managed to open our CD repair manual. No help on the pan. |
