How do you change the oil ford ranger 2000?

Answer 1

First take off the oil cap under the hood. Under the truck, about center between the seats, you'll find the oil pan and the drain plug. with you oil catch pan right under the plug, unscrew the plug. An adjustable wrench should do the job. When the oil is down to about a drop a second, close it back up. move your catch pan towards the driver side under the oil filter. The filter can be taken off from under the hood either by hand or with a strap wrench. Leave the old filter on the catch pan upside down so it can drain. Put in your new filter in, just past hand tight and refill the oil (about 4 quarts). idle the engine for a minute or two, turn it off and check the oil level again. Don't forget to put the oil cap back on!
