If you don’t have jack stands, drive the Navigator onto a set of wheel ramps. Pop the hood and remove the dipstick and oil filler cap. The dipstick is on the driver side of the engine, except for the 7.3 liter diesel engine, which has it on the passenger side.

The oil drain plug is on the bottom of the engine block, with the filter stationed nearby. Remove the oil drain plug using the 16-mm wrench. Pull the plug out
