retire fuel cap, localize fuel pump relay on engine compartment, turn on engine, retire the fuel pump relay & wait for engine dyes, (this is for depressurize the fuel system), take off old filter using some rags for catch residual fuel.

I looked at the Mercury Villager Owner Guides from ( 1996 , 1999 , and 2002 ) With engine oil filter change : Each Owner Guide shows ( 4.2 U.S. quarts )
They are mostly identical, yes.
About 18 inches behind the coolant tank that sits next to your battery.
The fuel filter on a 1996 Mercury Villager is typically located along the fuel line, underneath the vehicle. It is usually mounted on the driver's side, near the frame rail or near the fuel tank. For better access, you may need to raise the vehicle or look underneath to locate it. Always ensure to relieve the fuel system pressure before attempting to replace the fuel filter.
According to the 1996 Mercury Villager Owner Guide : With engine oil filter change : The 3.0 liter V6 engine takes : ( 4.2 U.S. quarts / 4.0 liters , 5W-30 preferred )
5W-30 is the preferred oil ( according to the 1996 Mercury Villager Owner Guide )
The Villager does not have a test port, you need to tee into the line near the fuel filter to test pressure.
No, it is not.
How do you remove the driver s seat from a1997 mercury villager
Yes, exactly the same.
I assume it is the same as the ( 1996 ) Mercury Villager : With engine oil filter change : ( 4.2 US. quarts of 5W-30 engine oil )
