What oil filter would you suggest?
What Oil would you suggest?
What all will i need to buy to change it myself, if i have nothing at all?

I know i need an oil filter wrench, do i need any gaskets?

1. fram or mobil
2. mobil or amsoil
3. catch pan for oil, oil filter wrench
4. no gaskets are needed

suggest: lucas oil treatment with your new oil and a can of restore to put in your gas tank to clean the injectors.

Oil Filter - Motorcraft FL-820S
Oil - Motorcraft 5W-20 Synthetic Blend

You do not need a wrench. Use aluminum foil to prevent oil from draining from the filter location onto your suspension components (you wil understand this better the second time you change it...)

RECYCLE the old oil.

Some oil info:

I've personally heard bad things about Fram, might want to stay with the Motorcraft.

I reccomend 5w30 - I've used both fram and mobil1 oil filters and had no problem.

Lucas oil treatment: http://www.sbmoc.com/TechTips/oil treatment/

Nope!

I have to jack it, then lower it over the oil pan.
