Heard they changed their formula and is more diluted now or something.

In the E, the 6.2 has 2 drain plugs, but it is just not worth trying to remove the one on the small aluminum pan at the front. It must be glued in with loctite. The rear drain plug has a copper washer. I will replace it on my 3rd change. The dealer gave me the wrong one that last time so I re-used the old one. No big deal.
One thing though, 9qts is a LOT of oil. Make sure your drain pan is big enough.
Note, you can find pictures of the 63 engine with a large oil pan at the front of the engine, so I imagine they have different oil pan configurations based on the steering and structural member locations.
