Man I wish I had thought of that when I changed my oil last time. I'll do it next time for sure.

Do you use a copper washer on the drain plug ?
I never have. IN fact, I would be concerned that adding pieces to the drain plug where the mfg didn't put them would increase the chance of leakage, not decrease it.

Thanks, I thought it wasn't needed since I couldn't see it in the parts list and I haven't changed the oil myself before.

Motorcraft FL820S
Side note on the filter. I have been using FL820S for a while now. Interesting thing is that when I did an oil change last week, the new FL820S was 3/4 of an inch shorter than the old one.
I went back into my garage and compared the other new FL820S to another one I had purchased about 6 months ago (I Have 2 KJ's and always keep a filter on hand). the other newly purchased filter was also 3/4 inch shorter.

That might make R&R a bit easier?? Let us know. Plus, does anyone use OEM Mopar filters?
