What it boils down to is that there is no "special" process. Drain the lower filter first by opening the valve. While the valve is open, unscrew your upper filter. Then unscrew your lower filter. Change your lower filter first then close the valve. Then change your upper filter. Badda bing.  |
I dont own one, but I make my living fixing these things day in and day out (im still a tech assistant, im young, 21 and not done with all my training just yet and waiting on classes to open up from ford in my area) and when I say 10,000-15,000 miles max is because fuel quality is very critical in these trucks. Ive pulled filters on several 08's that with 10-15k on the clock that looked terrible. I have it printed somewhere maybe I could share if I can find it, but the last time we had a ford rep at our dealer he told all the diesel techs that we need to start selling filters and recommending them every 10,000 miles for 6.0's and 6.4's. I would go past it if you know that the fuel you are putting into your truck is top quality, some stations around here sell junk.
