Changed oil for first time on 91 Towncar and got out less ouil than I expected. Is there a second drain plug and if so where is it?

Cheers,

Was it confirmed full before you drained it ?

Your looking at a full 5 quarts including a filter change.

Something else to add....

On my '96 the drain plug is in the front on the pan and I did read a warning that the oil should be drained with the vehicle sitting level.

This may be the problem your experiencing if your not able to add five quarts after a drain / filter change.

1990 and earlier cars have the 5.0l (302) which has 2 drain plugs

1991 and later have the 4.6l and it has only on drain plug.
