In this video, I show you the exact location of the engine oil filter on a 2009-2014 Ford F150 3.7L. Finding exactly where this filter is positioned on the engine block is a huge time-saver if you are doing a DIY vehicle maintenance job, letting you get straight to work without crawling around guessing where it’s hidden.
Common symptoms or indicators that your oil filter needs to be replaced include:
- Reaching your vehicle’s scheduled oil change interval (time or mileage).
- Dark, dirty engine oil or a dropped oil pressure reading on your dashboard.
- Poor engine performance or metallic ticking noises due to restricted oil flow if the filter is completely clogged.
Safety First: Oil changes involve tight spaces and potentially hot fluids. Always prioritize your personal safety by wearing protective gloves and safety glasses, ensure your truck is safely secured, and stay completely focused and attentive from start to finish.
