[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 972848, member: 61136"] I taught the young guy next door how to change his oil. He had a '05 'stang. He was living with his single mom. Never had a dad to show him things automotive. He bought a house and moved away. He called me one day."Oil going everywhere" can I come over. Turned out he changed his oil. The old filter gasket was still on. By the time he got to my house. It took 5qts for fill up. Lucky his motor is ok. He wants me to help him with some performance on the 'stang. It's nice to have a local cop on your side..LOL I have never forgot the filter gasket. I have forgot the drain plug and radiator drain valve..LOL. Done it on freinds cars. Then the $$ came out my pocket..NO LOL. Speaking of 6qts. They need to have some 6qt jugs. Even the ford escape 3.0L uses 6qts. Also I hear that some are going back to cartrige canistor oil filters. Ford did that in the '50s. What mess that was. Someone said, it is an enviromental issue. IDK... [/QUOTE]
