Newbie Questions
Hi guys,
New to the Forum & Fords in general - getting ready to do the first oil change on my '05 EB Expedition (5.4L 3V), and was wondering (1) what the recommended torque value was for the oil drain plug, and (2) do I need to replace the drain plug washer? My experience is with Honda's & Nissan's, which both gave recommended torque values in their owner's manuals and which also used metal drain plug washers (which I changed every oil change or two) - I'm a little surprised that this info. wasn't in the Expy manual.
Anyway, thanks in advance & sorry if this is a stupid/common question - couldn't find anything via a search...
