Hey folks, I am ready to change my oil on my 5.0L engine. Can I get some instructions on how to reset the computer once job is done. Also, is the drain procedure straight forward. 1. Remove oil pan drain plug, 2. Remove
oil filter house change filter element. 3. Replace and add oil.

Thanks in advance to the certified techs.

Unless my memory is faulty, I didn't think there was a drain plug on the oil pan for the 5.0 engine; either that or the plug isn't used for draining.

 

As of a previous thread there is a drain plug that can be re used.
