Assuming this is an SN95 5.0, yes, you drain BOTH plugs. The front sump never has a whole lot of oil in it when I change mine, the rear sump is where it all seems to pool up. I usually unplug the front, let it drain for a few, put the drain plug back in, then move to the rear and repeat. Then oil filter, then new oil, and you're set. :nice:
 
thanks thought it was kinda weird that no oil really came out i was kinda scared that i was driving around with no oil then it got me thinking my oil light doesnt work
 
Yeah, I remember my first oil change. Didn't know about the dual sumps, and drained the front sump and flipped out wondering how my car even drove me to my friend's house. :rlaugh: Then I looked and did the old 'OHHHH' after seeing the rear sump. :nice:
