Can someone direct me to the website that carried the special tool or the post it was located at. Does Motorhaven carry it? Maybe list it on the tech site for tools used to help with oil/fuel filter change.

I just did my first oil change at Jiffy Lube and have an updated price. They were tacking a $40 surcharge for the filter, NO MORE. My total for a Rotella oil change with sales tax was $51.48 and after a 10% discount, which almost everyone can get. Plus they check everthing else and the old oil goes back to the right place (hopefully) 
But if you like changing your own oil and disposing of it.........Have Fun

Thanks all for the info on the use of a 36mm size. I was looking for a 36mm socket that is only 1/2 to 3/4 inch high it is made by a speciality tool company for the ford filters. I had read about someone using one and they had a web site that showed the tool. Thinking back... it might have been on one of those other diesel sites. Thanks again.

Found what I was looking for. Lislecorp carries a 36mm socket made especially for the oil/fuel filters on the PSD 6.0. etoolcart.com also carries it, but I ordered mine from my local auto parts store. Cost was $8.99.

Just got back from WalMart, good news, Fram filter replaces MotorCraft at a lower cost ($15.27).
Finally Mobil 1 Truck & SUV is available in 5qt jug for $19.97.
Last, but not least, Rotella T 5W40 Syn CI-4 rated is $13.48 for gal jug.
Fram#9549 is the same original equipment filter as the Motorcraft, just repackaged.
