you only need to do 4 quarts. I believe it says 4.2 but 4 quarts is fine if you use the stock size filter.

I like our oil change......soooooo damn easy and quick. Yea, I only use four quarts and fills up right to the money with a PUR ONE Purolator synthetic oil filter.

havent yet changed the oil on my tC myself ('07 and still milking the 3 free ones), but on my previous mustang and explorers you had to replace a washer that was on the drain plug bolt. i take it the tC doesnt have one that needs to be replaced?

Yes you need a new gasket every time you do your oil. Doesnt come with a permanent gasket sytle plug. Which is a bummer. I am going to buy a permanent style plug though cause I always forget to buy the stupid gaskets when I'm at the store!!!

Is the 07 plug different? I haven't replaced my plug gasket on my 06 and I've done PLENTY of oil changes. (38700 miles right now)

Ummm....Web if there is a seperate gasket for your oil drain plug you are advised to replace it every time you change your oil. If not you have a possiblity of leaking oil at the plug.
Now if your plug has no seperate gasket and a rubber gromet/washer on it then its a permanent gasket. I don't think the older models would have this and the new model does not.
Just a heads up Web.

Never had a leak but now that I just thought about it, my oil plug doesn't have a gasket.....it's always been metal to metal. Also, I've never heard of replacing the oil drain plug gasket at EVERY change either. Only if you notice a leak or when you take the plug off, the gasket is cracked.
I've had the same one on my truck for 165K+ and it's never leaked a drop and it's a seperate rubber/nylon gasket.
Also, it depends highly on how much your torque that plug on. If you torque it on like some quick lube places, then yeah, i'd change it every time. It only needs to be torque to maybe 15-20 lbs at the very most. I just wait until the bolt stops turning and give it a 1/4 turn more. Never leaked on me with my truck or tC so far.

I always replace the gasket. Every job i worked when I was a mechanic I did so with every gasket you took off....with the exception of permanent gaskets.
I think its a good idea especially when those things cost 15 cents for a pack of ten.

WHAT! Metal to metal contact with no gasket! Dude, slap a gasket on that pronto.......i thought you originally said it had a metal style gasket but if its just a drain plug and nothing else then you want a gasket......especially not to mess up your threads on the pan from the torque of tightening the bolt.

I'll check it out next time. Unless it's got a recessed gasket into the head of the bolt, I don't remember one being there......oh well.......
I'll check next oil change though

Yea, if you have a recessed gasket embedded in the bolt (aka permanent gasket) then your good. But otherwise I am suprised your not leakin oil with no gasket...very surprised!

Then I most likely have the "permenant" gasket. I've never noticed on fall off when I take the bolt out and never put anything between the bolt and the pan......just never paid attention. Never had ANY leak

Nice quotation for "permanent gasket"
Letting everybody be able to distinct what it is and you explained it better than me in your post.
