DIY: 2024 Ranger 2.3 ecoboost oil change with pictures and details

[Trimjb]

Thank you for the post. I'm due to do the first oil change on my 2024 Lariat 2.3L and was looking for information to reference. This will be helpful.

Question regarding the oil pan drain plug. I understand that the oil pan is made from aluminum, so attention is needed with the drain plug so as not to cross thread or over tighten it. That said, is there a torque spec for the oil drain plug? My internet search has been unsuccessful in finding a torque spec, if applicable. Thanks in advance.

I believe you have a Lariet, the oil pan is not aluminum. Mine is an XLT and is steel.

My 2024 XLT FX4 2.3L has diecast aluminum pan.
