[QUOTE="Dano, post: 3484949, member: 7935"] Ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Not really. My '95 had two drain plugs, and as far as I know, the '94 engine is the same. Drain one at a time. If this is your first oil change, I'd go to Ford and get two new plugs. They have a seal (o-ring type) under the head of the bolt, and it wouldn't hurt to start with a new bolt & seal. If you don't over-torque the bolt and try to twist the head off, it'll last a long time. A socket or box wrench is the proper tool. The oil filter is a little messy, and will drain oil all over the front suspension components, unles you try to catch it in a rag or something else. The last oil change I did before I sold it, I had the filter in two fingers, trying to balance it on the way to the drain tank, and it slipped forward and I got a face, shirt, and glasses full of hot splashed oil. It's a lot easier to catch the oil instead of trying to wipe it off the components (it always leaves a residue, unless you wash it off). When you go to Ford, always makes sure they understand that you're getting parts for a Cobra. I had many problems with one certain dealer that didn't seem to know the difference, even when I told him the diagram he was showing me wasn't for a Cobra. You have to be patient, but be the boss - it's your money and time! [/QUOTE]
