I have done plenty of oil changes on my explorer but this is the first time I am doin it on my expedition. 1. So that I don't have to crawl around looking where on this vehicle is the oil filter and oil pan plug located? 2. The auto store gave me 10w-30 oil. My manual states 5w-20. I have over 165k miles should I use this oil?? Or should I get the 5w-20?

 

The oil filter is on the driver's side of the block, the drain plug is easy to spot on the pan, and use the 5W-20 like the manual says.

 

Reckon it is time, it's only been 12 years? /jk

 

Yeah I'd say lol but that doesn't answer my question LOL although I figured it out

 

Turning the front wheels to the right will give you the room necessary to get the oil filter out.

 

Thank you!! I will remember that for next time!! It took me far to long to get that thing out this time!! Appreciate it
