Wow, I feel like an idiot. I've been changing my oil ever since my dad taught me as a little kid, and I've never thought to do that... My least favorite part of the job has always been the filter, because of the inevitable drips/mess.
I take it the Mustang doesn't have a crush washer on the oil drain plug? My last car did, and I was a real bummer to get the oil drained and then realize that I didn't have a fresh washer for the plug.

Well got around to changing my oil this morning with out hassle witch is always nice.
Anyways I let it drain for a good bit while the car was on jack stands to make sure as much as possible was out. Funny thing is I filled the car up with 8qt's and when I refilled my empty qt's with the used oil I only had 7qt's. I guess the other qt is in the oil filter ?
