Both the frame rail and under hood filters are different on the 17's. (I think the under hood one is different too but not 100% on that one...) You can see them on dieselfiltersonline.com.

this is what Dieselfilters has on their site.

I did roughly 8500 miles before mine came up for a change. The oil system has all kinds of sensors in it. I looked at a few in ForScan. Very interesting stuff.

Got it thanks! I was on their site earlier looking at 6.7 powerstroke, I just didn't see the 2017 option. Thanks!

Same here...

They do. Manual says to change the oil when the oil minder says to. I wouldn't change at 1000 but it's your truck and your $$$

Are you saying that Ford puts additives in with the initial oil fill? Or are you just opining?

I have seen no definitive proof one way or the other. Changing at 1k is wasteful and I trust the computer when to tell me. Can't deny warranty when you follow what it says. The days of 3k oil changes have long passed and is unnecessary. As I said earlier, it's your truck and your money but I wouldn't be doing it so fast

I dont see a part number for the under hood fuel filter on dieselfiltersonline.com. Only see the fuel/water separator

3/4 tank and 312 MTE...damn son! My truck says like 580 at 3/4 tank.
