so spring came and I decided to change oil in my Cobra today. It was pita to pull off old filter so I went and got me an oil wrench...another one, just to fit that filter. I didnt know there were 2 oil drain plugs though. Ive emptied them and put in 5 qts of oil. I thought it was hard to change oil on my moms lexus, not anymore lol

Cut him some slack PRO. The kid just did his first oil change and he's proud

PRO50SC

Proud, seems more like rant to me.

getting filter on and off in such a crammed place. Also didn't know why there's 2 drain plugs for oil pan, doesnt make sense

lxman1

It has two because the pan has to clear the rack & pinion and if it only had the one in the rear, you would leave a quart of dirty oil in the pan at every oil change.

What year is your Cobra?

My 88 isn't hard to get off at all.

Do all foxes have 2 plugs for oil drain?

tmuti13

I'm pretty sure all foxes and 5.0 SN 95's have 2 plugs

mitmaks

ya, its 95 and I did think about it and figured cause of suspension it has to have 2.
