Get a K&N oil filter has a hex nut on it you can use a regular wrench on them. Cost a little more but worth it.

I have the same issues with my 94' Bronco and I switched to Fram. Fram makes one that has a rubber bottom cover that is like grip tape. Makes it easy to grab even if oily. I have the dealership do my oil changes in the 05' mustang so i am not sure if fram makes them for that application, but it is worth checking out.

i was alos his first oil change so of course its gonna be on there tight. they put them on tight just to make it harder for people to do their oil changes[8D]

The factory filter is always hard to get off. Get yourself a good filter wrench and in the future they won't be that bad.

Strange. I had no trouble getting mine off at all. I guess that in some cases someone at the assembly plant is paroid about them coming loose and they are over tightening them.

well i tryed to use the oil filter wrench that i have and its to tight in ther to get a good grip on it. i have the fram filter to replace the old one so i will just get a local shop to change it and use the fram filter so next time i will be able to get it off...thanks for the replys guys..[sm=groupwave.gif]

Fram filters should be avoided like the plague. I suggest either Motorcraft or Purolator Pure One. Great filters at a decent price.

I agree with the statement about Fram filters. Any of the above mentioned are good but you really should try the K&N filter you won't use nothing else after you try it very easy to get on and off.
