Got a question: I've purchased 4 new Explorers (2 in 2002, and 2 in 2005) and each time getting the factory oil filter off has been a fight. I have a oil ratchet(?) tool that fits the FL-820S perfectly, but slips on the factory installed filters. The factory installed oil filters also have no markings upon removal...which usually takes about a half hour and many chewed up knuckles.
Has anyone else had this experience with the factory filters?
