First Oil Change VIDEO
Here's my experience changing the oil for the first time this morning. I was mostly excited to see how the new quarter-turn drain plug would work. Here's the video:

Great video, well done!
Filling the oil filter is a matter of personal preference - some folks like to do it, I never do and have never had a problem. The important thing is make sure you have the right level of oil post-change.
Epic said 13 quarts added which levelled out after he ran it. I presume the 13 quarts is the system capacity so if you fill your filter, you need to back it out of the volume calc or you will overfill.

You didn't show what it took to remove the old filter. I'm spoiled by how easy the filter was on the top of the 6.0. I need to go see what size of filter wrench I need to get the dirty filter off. Hope I still have some old filter wrenches around that will fit that size on this truck.
I use a 5 gallon bucket to catch my dirty oil. I buy oil and hydraulic fluid for my skid loaders and mini execavators in the 5 gallon buckets, So I've got old buckets around. They have a pour spout that makes it easy to dump the old oil at what ever recycling place I take it to. 13 quarts will only fill the 5 gallon bucket about 2/3rds full. Slide it out from under the truck and snap the lid back on.
So whats next Epic, A video on changing the fuel filters?
