I am going to start changing the oil on my 05 to save a little money and was wondering if the 4.0 has a drain plug washer that needs to be replaced after every oil change like my 86 Mustang?

I don't replace any of my cars' oil drain plugs gaskets (those that have them) even though recommended to do each time, unless they begin to leak. My Volvos gaskets never need replacing, even though recommended. I cannot speak to the 4.0, but the 4.6 has no such gasket.

10 cars later, 100's of oil changes - NO never once.
