I can't find my purchase info and I don't like typing anything here without proofs
But

I bought a special oil filter wrench. It has what looks like a piece of stinky slinky built onto it.
Specific for fords(and other specific wrenches are available) , it encapsulates the filter so nothing spills out when taking off the filter. I think it was $11.

Also bought the quarter turn valve which replaces the oil plug. $22

I use, and really like, the wide flat 16qt cheap plastic pan with the spout on the side.
You can dump the filter right into that pan without taking too much aim. $8

I havent changed my own rv oil yet. I figured an $800 savings over the next 10 years, but it's sssooo damn inconvenient for an oil change place and the special trip and the distance and such.
If I had a place within a reasonable distance I wouldn't even attempt the change.

I suggest you read one of the
'how in the hell did you get oil in this stupid class a?'
Threads.
(if yours is an a)

Edit:
I found two of the items. It involved a 100yard walk and now I've got chores to do down here, like empty and clean the damn black tank... (I blame you....)
I hate typing crap I can't back up....
