After all the horror stories I read, it was ridiculously easy. Eased out the yellow plug and let it come out controlled and no issues with the filter. No mess and I didnt have to jack it up.

Its a miracle!!! You must be some kind of magician.... (obvious sarcasm inserted).

In all seriousness anyone complaining about changing the oil on a 2.7 is either just looking for something to complain about or they're seriously incapable of even the simplest of tasks and should seek the help of a qualified professional.

Worst part was taking off the bash plate, and that was no problem.

Thoughts and prayers for that 30 second inconvenience once every 5-7k miles! hahaha
I bought a Dewalt electric ratchet and keep a 15mm socket in the same bag because laziness feels so good... 😁

Totally agree. Made a mess trying to pour the old oil back into the empty jug, but that would be the case regardless of vehicle. 😬

Just changed my 2.7 oil & filter last night for the 3rd time. While fumbling with the O-rinds for the oil filter housing I was thinking "except for these O-rings this is too damn easy." Even the O-rings are easy once you get the hang of it and a small flat blade screwdriver to lever the O-ring over the pointed rod in the canister. Even the skid plate is easy to remove considering its a fairly robust piece. $50 bucks at Wal Mart for 6 qts of Mobil 1 Extended Life 5w-30 and a Motorcraft filter as well as 30 minute's on a cool, garage floor and I'm goof door another 5k miles.
