FORD Engineers from Skoda or Russia

1st oil change on 13 150 v6turbo 3100 kliks on in (about 1800 miles). I couldn't find the access to the filter till I spied some plastic ***** that you would find on a toy,undid them;only to see the very front edge of the filter by turning your head to get a one eye shot of it hiding way up there;good; now how do you get it out??? I didn't have a small oil filter wrench so I used a 12" pipe wrench to loosen the filter,spun it off and now had oil leaking from every where creating a mess. I don't take my vehicles to a dealer where the oil changer has a 10-30 IQ and will not even bother to change the filter.Now in 2013 The FORD engineers would come up with this kind of set-up.Do they take a stupid pill before they leave for work.What the is with the diaper in front of the axle to cover the space.Then they have a diaper under the exhaust to either stop a fire from the front end dragging on the ground or to prevent the exhaust from catching the forests on fire. Then the dumb put convex mirrors on the trailer tow mirrors,which totally destroyed the reason for trailer tow mirrors for backing up.Stupity at its finest.

Welcome to FTE!

I cleaned up your language a bit. I have nothing against you voicing your displeasure but this is a G rated site. Keep it clean please.

There are some design flaws on the truck but we as the FTE community have beat that horse to death.

I'm thinking that everything under the truck is a lot easier to access with the truck on a lift and with the person standing under it.
