Just for future reference, the 6.0 oil and fuel filter change guides are attached. Put a Fumoto valve in the drain pan and oil changes are a 30 minute-3 beer-one lawn chair kind of job.
Unscrew filter to drain the housing, open valve to drain the pan. Wait. Consume appropriate amount of human lubricant. Snap in new filter and close valve. The hardest part is finding the sutpid 34mm socket.

My only tip of the day for this is take a screwdriver and a hammer and puncture the oil filter to drain it before you unscrew it. That sumbitch is heavy AF. If you drain it then it's not so bad and you don't spill it everywhere.
Of course it's a good idea to loosen it first to make sure you can get it off, last thing you need is a punctured oil filter that can't be removed. LOL

Please don't take a screwdriver to the oil filter on a 6.0..... the cap alone costs $22, the housing is about $150. It's also a cartridge filter, not a screw on 
I've used them for going on 300k+ miles combined over four vehicles, one with over 100k on the valve, never had a single issue. Flip the level open, oil comes out. Close the lever, oil stays in. I use a q-tip to clean inside the nipple after I drain the oil so the single drop that would hang there doesn't ever fall.
