Hey!
I have a 1986 thunderbird 5.0L v8. The 302 one.
I was supposed to change oil and filter, i opened the tank and out came only an liter or so of oil. Tried to "shoot" air into it from where you are refilling the oil and a little bit more came out. but i think there are a lot left. any tips to what i can do? Thought about a cleaning-oil, but if i fill that on, what if it doesnt come out again? heheh... tried "lifting" the car from every logical angle, but no nothing. :punchballs:
It has been a few years, but I think the 5.0 has a front and rear sump. Did you remove both drain plugs?
This. 2 drain plugs. Sounds like you just removed the one on the front.
That, or it leaks, and that's all you had left in there ;)
Nah, it just ate it all!
What's the dipstick say?
(find the humor here if you want/can) lol.
If there's still oil on the stick, then take out the rear plug too. ;)
If the rear plug IS out, then the pan needs to come off. A bit of work, but better than ruining the bottom end.
Yup. Removing the front one and leaving the rear in will result in less than a quart draining out.
Thank you so much for answers! Hehe, i only removed 1 plug, so i'll try to find the other! Now i feel a little bit stupid :P And its not leaking as the stick is almost on max and have been that for a while :D again thanks!
