I looked at the 2020 Ford F53 manual that I downloaded on the THOR owners website. It only showed "how to measure oil", "how to add oil", and oil capacity. No actual instruction on how to remove/replace the oil filter.

Any thoughts or suggestions on the location of the oil filter and drain plug? The level of difficulty???

I am thinking of going to Ford Dealership and give them my VIN so I can purchase the oil filter and correct oil grade.

Thanks.

The oil filter on mine is on the drivers side right above the tie rod, just unscrew it like any other oil filter and have a pan under it without the wind blowing. The pan bolt is in plain sight. If you did the V10 this is just like it. Don't forget to torque the pan bolt
