Oil filter: break seal, let oil drain everywhere (and some into the catch pan). Wait 15 minutes. Give 1/2 turn, let oil drain everywhere. Wait 15 minutes. Spin filter off, spill hot oil all over your arms when it clears the interface. Drop filter on top of the screen in the drain pan. Curse Ford for 15 minutes. Wipe oil off everything. Replace filter, while saying to yourself that at least you have 5000 miles until that happens again. :rolleyes:
Ok,
Try it this way. Put car on ramps, let sit for an hour, the drain oil into pan. Let sit overnight. Replace drain plug.
Next morning, remove cool oil fiter. Still messy, but at least you don't get burnt.
