lol what he didnt put in there was on panther chassis cars with the old style steering, you turn the wheels to the right before you lift it. the suspensions moves in a way to allow more access to the oil filter.
Better one yet, I had a 1978 Cadillac Elderado and the oil pan curved around the front wheel drive and had two oil pan drains, one held the bulk, the other about a qt, I changed oil in the car three times till I realized to drain both pans.
Holy mackerel.
Tighten the drain plug as tight as you can.
I'm not too crazy about putting 2 or 3 quarts in there then starting it up to get it off the ramps, either. I guess it'd work, but I'd feel better with 4 or 4.5, assuming a 5 qt fill, before starting it up.
Wow - he didn't even attempt to start a war by saying which brand/weight oil to use. What's wrong with that guy?
And Fram or Pennzoil filters. Geeze!!
Wonder how many Town Car owners change their own oil?

Had a Ford Fairmont with 302 that was like that - one drain plug ahead of the crossmember and one behind. First time I changed the oil, I stuck in the recommended amount, then checked the stick - it was way over full. Scratch head. Oh, that's what that other thing that looks like a drain plug?

Ford V8s have been that way for decades.

thank [censored] they did away with that in teh module motor. they are all 1 drain plug except the GT supercar, which has 2 on the engine and one on the dry sump.
He forgot to mention to make sure the old gasket comes off with the filter. Big mistake if it's stuck on there and you screw another filter on. He also forgot the BEER!
