decided to change my oil and filter at 1,000 miles tonight. had read about how hard the filter was to remove the first time in earlier posts. used my PLEWS oil filter removal tool/wrench. filter came right off-no problem. i forget where i bot it but should be available at most parts stores? put motorcraft 5w20 oil and filter in--willchange to royal purple and k&n in another 2 or 3,000 miles.

The oil filter came off my truck with no sweat. But the one on the 99 was another story! I think the fellow must have got transfered from installing oil filters to maybe installing complete engines.
