I have a 2002 FE XLT V8 and I am so remarkably pissed at myself for not being able to easily change this oil filter. The filter wrench I have can barely grip it and there are hoses in the way which make it virtually impossible to unscrew. On top of that my last oil change was in a shop and they tightened the hell out of the filter (normally I hand screw it on tight so I don't have to go through this ordeal). Anyhow, are there any tricks i'm missing here?
Also after doing all this work how do I get the service engine soon light to shut up? Or will it shut up on its own after the car thinks everything is ok?
I could just start yanking fuses I guess :)
Thanks!
