Oil Question
Hi, i just got a 1995 Ford Explorer... and i went to change the oil... got all under the car.. and noticed 2 things
1. I cannot seem to find the drain plug.. is it in some weird position or place?
and 2. The oil filter is also in a very weird spot being under the car,... is there a trick to changing it or is it just a pain in my butt =)
Thanks

Oil Question
The drain plug is on the bottom of the pan on the rear side(if I remember correctly). The oil filter is a pain to get off. If you use a filter wrench with a swivel handle, and lay the handle down so that it is parallel with the filter, that's how I made it work. Not much leverage in this position, that's why I have been changing the oil for my wife since she got this truck. Hopefully she can do it herself on the next one. She likes to get dirty like the rest of us.
