One my the engine oil housing and 1 underneath by the drivers side door. The black one fits around the silver one. You will have two different fuel filters. I plan on getting at least a million miles out of this engine, so I'm pretty particular about how it's treated. I know this is sooner than the manufacturer recommends, but, it's very cheap insurance against future engine problems. They meet at a square box with an end that looks like the bottom of an oil filter. Reach behind the filter housing and locate the water drain valve open it up to drain the fuel from the filter housing.
The hexagon is viewed from above more or less in the centre. You must remove the two plastic covers which are on the top of the motor, on mine one is silver and one is black. Loosen the screw with an allan key to release any pressure have a bucket ready , and turn the cap off. Use the right size socket on the hex like nut on that side of the filter and turn counterclockwise. And as always, if you need assistance in determining the correct parts for you, give us a call or send an e-mail to and we would be happy to help.
The oil filter is located under the hood. For those that have either had a complete failure of the transmission or its simply time for an upgrade, we also offer complete transmission packages in various levels depending on the horsepower and use of the truck. Your primary filter is located on your frame rail drivers side. I found that my primary wasn't even dirty but changed it anyways. . The oil filter is located in front of the engine slightly to the right toward the driver side of the car , about mid way down the front of the motor.
For easier access I remove the rubber hose from the intercooler. Fortunately, with the addition of several aftermarket upgraded components, the 5R110 transmission can be built to handle substantially higher horsepower and larger loads compared to the stock unit, all while lasting considerably longer than the factory unit. But if you blew you head gaskets your better off just pulling the engine and studding your heads so it never happens again. Really depends on what you are doing. Once you get home, get them out of the package and throw away the boxes.
I don't recall if there was a Ford-specific product or not, though I can't imagine that Ford would pass up the chance to sell something like that at a greatly inflated price. I assume your probably running a chip, which it takes 40 pounds of boost to blow the head gaskets in the 6. This exposes the top of the fuel filter looking down on it. I use a long long ext. Just follow your fuel lines back to about half the distance of your truck. The cap has a plastic clip to hold it in place, so just push the clip in and the cap will come off.
You then have a plastic filter cover with a large plastic nut on the bottom and a small allen key bolt in the middle of it…. These also vary a little depending on if you have a power stroke turbo and if you run fuel additives, and if you let it idle during a hockey game, because it is -30 outside. It lives in an aluminum housing with a black plastic top at the front of the engine,this needs a 36mm socket to unscrew the top. And I use nothing but full synthetic oil. Get a rag or a small bucket to pick up… Remove the powerstoke name plate on the front of your engine 13mm socket.
You are a head of the game. If I am correct, on the driver's side frame, almost right where the cab meets the front fender, you will see a bundle of plastic and steel pipes. . . . . .
