Tim, Thanks for the welcome. I've read the "Read Before Posting Here" guidelines. Is this the guidelines you are referring too?

I've been a member of FTE since April 2004 and learned a lot from everyone here regarding the superduty and 6.0 PSD. A lot of knowledgable foks here! In fact I ordered one in April (Lariat/CC/4x4/6.0L) and took delivery in May. Love the truck!

Jeff

Thanks for the responses - I knew 36mm was the size of the fuel filter....I was hoping Ford made the oil one the same - glad to see they did. Couldn't seem to find it anywhere in the manual tho.

See my instructions at http://home.austin.rr.com/sbv1/Proce...gEngineOil.htm It is a 36mm socket. Don't overtighten. 18 ft/lbs is specified.
