    Oil Drain Plug Gasket

    2013 Expedition. Does the oil drain plug have any type of gasket, rubber or metal? Changing the oil for the first time on my new to me 2013 and there is no gasket. I thought my 2005 had a metal gasket. Thanks! Joe

    Firewall Opening for power wire

    Does anyone have a picture showing the location of an opening in the firewall? Ideally on the passenger's side. I'm trying to run a wire from the battery. This would be for a 2005. I read a post that talked about one on the passenger side but it sounded like this was on an 03 and not...
