- 2016 Explorer PIU 3.7
Having an issue when changing the oil on my 2016 explorer piu with the 3.7 liter engine. I think I must have cross-threaded the new filter because oil came spurting out when I started the motor. Fortunately, I checked before driving it off the ramps in my garage. Question that I have is do I need to drain all the oil before removing and replacing the filter? Would prefer not to waste five/six quarts of new oil, but also don't want to make an even bigger mess.
