Oil and fuel filter changes - F-Series & SuperDuty Diesel Forums

Just changed the oil, oil filter and both fuel filters on my 6.7 for the first time. I can't believe how EASY it was. My last truck was a Toyota Tundra 5.7 and it was the hardest vehicle that I've ever serviced; but my SD was Soooooo easy. The upper fuel filter took about a minute (after I found a 7mm socket to lossen the clamp), the lower fuel filter takes about 2 minutes after you drain the fuel from the canister. The oil pan drain plug is really cool. It turns a 1/4 turn out with a 3/8" rachet and you put it back in by hand. How cool is that?

And it takes a 32mm socket to remove the lower filter canister but I don't care as well as it's designed and as easy as it is to change the filters.
