Oil change Ford Cougar 1998 - 2002

Here's the sump plug

Don't forget to have a suitably sized receiving tray in place

With an oil catchment tray in position, use a 15mm spanner or socket to carefully remove the sump plug and fully drain the oil. When the sump has emptied, wipe clean the sump plug area with a paper towel

Replace (new) sump plug and washer. Do not over tighten
