My 4.2 TD took 2 filters and pretty much a full 10 litres for an oil change.

With that 4.2 there are a couple of different filter numbers that may be applicable. Make sure you get the right ones.

Otherwise - give it a quick run to warm the oil, drop it out and do not get burnt removing the plug, change the filters and make sure you put the plug back in before you start to pour in the new oil. Its a truck engine so make sure you have a big enough oil pan to hold the 10 or so litres that will come out.
