Oil change on Expedition

[D60]

Our '08 F150 3V came with the stripped plug, too. My dad's gf's 2005 3V also.

I keep at least one in stock now for others.

Watched a quick vid, then realized I'd probably find the answer faster here... 2014 Expedition, oil change: ramps needed or desired? I'm used to my cars, usually I can reach under, or if necessary, jack an inch and get just enough space to do the job. I'd prefer not to use ramps, as I've never used them, and don't have anyhow (would resort to lifting and jack stands).

Is the oil filter really above a crossmember?

I won't see the vehicle until Saturday, when the kid brings it by to do the change (wants someone to supervise). I'm pretty sure I can muddle my way through with zero research, but like most things, reading up beforehand tends to be wise.

Sounds like he has the oil and an XG2 filter, so I think he's set on that front (if not, we'll make a parts run).

I’m an old retired guy who hates climbing on my back under cars. I put a lift in my garage, so it’s nice and air conditioned and I can do it without hurting my back.
