I read about ponyboy302 problem so if you only remove the front oil pan plug and not drain the back plug,how much oil is still going to be in the pan yet? I never new they had 2 plugs..............thanks

AdderMk2

you would only drain out about a quart or so...

threads like this is why I get paid to do, what I do

+1 what Adder said, I always considered it a 4qt/1qt split too.

mustangsneverdie

don't know always drained both

1qt front, about 3.25qt rear and the rest is in the filter.

If anything, leave the front and drain the rear!! At least you will get most of the old stuff out

lol that's what i've always done, it works.

Honestly if it pains you to remove two plugs instead of one, you should just take the car to the dealer for service. 5.0 is one of easiest cars to change oil on. Both plugs are easily accessible and in clear view, and filter is accessible from the top.

i always take my oil filter off from below >.<

Styg

I prefer to be on top, but thats just me.

I change mine from the top as well.
