Looks like an easy oil change. I hope that plastic drain plug will hold up.

If it doesn't, simply replace it. Occasionally, the metal drain plugs get rounded off...and are simply replaced.

Many thanks for the informative pics R6...as a DIYer, they're much appreciated.


Note: I'll likely be doing DIY oil changes on a 2016 2.7 Lincoln MkX later this year, but your info is relevant.

Very nice write up! And that is one crazy drain plug, I like it makes life easy draining the oil. Does the 3.5 use the same type oil drain plug??

Hi.

No sir - it's a standard 12mm x 1.75 threaded steel plug.

Everything old is new again? What's behind the move back to cartridge style oil filters?
