If all you want to do is change the filter, just unscrew it and put a new one on, you do not need to drain the oil to change a filter.
 






AMSOIL 10W-30
AMSOIL SDF-15 filter
change interval is 5,000 mi for my truck at present until oil analysis says otherwise

You can change the filter without changing the oil, you just have to add a quart of new oil when you put the new filter on.

Durr, I don't know what I was thinking. I was expecting all the oil to dump out. Big brain fart.

Thanks.
 






wait..change filter before oil?? wtf?

mobile 1 synth extended performance 5w-30 just started but it says every 15,000, i'm thinking every 10k
mighty engineguardII M1 filter changed with the oil
 






Valvoline 10W/30
Motorcraft filter
Every 3k
 






I'm on the continuous oil change program. I have to add a quart every 3-4 weeks, so I don't really worry about it. ;) I should probably change the filter though :D .
 






I use Castrol GTX 5w30 oil (5 qts)
Fram Oil Filter
Fram Air Filter
Change oil every 3,000 miles

Just a sidenote to Glacier. It is nice that you change your underwear every day. But I think that was a little more info than was needed.

Well the oil is rated to 25k miles, and the filter only to 3k miles. The filter would need to be changed before the oil...
 






FordLover61..yeah, sorry. I got a little carried away with the moment there, talking about change intervals.
 






Motorcraft 5w-30 w/ Valvoline SynPower Oil Treatment
Motorcraft filter
Change every 3k or 6 months, whichever is first.
 






Oil/Filter Change

Mobil One 5-30W
Fram Extended Mileage Filter

6 months or 6000 miles. :exp: :us:
 






how many quarts of oil does it take? v6 4.o yeh thankls
 






5 quarts with a filter change.
:exp: :us:
 






Well, since my brother (FordLover61) does my oil changes for me, I guess he uses the same in my truck as his, I just give him the money to cover the cost of the filter and oil :D

*puts up a note to remind herself that an oil change on her rig is a bit overdue and to get brother off his butt and do it as soon as she gets the stuff he needs*
