2021 3500 with 4500 miles on a 6.4 hemi, carrying a camper. We have done a number of offroad trips and the oil was looking pretty dark. I bought three 5L jugs of PZ ulta platinum and two Puro filters, so I'm set for two service intervals.
I drained the oil and installed a Fumoto 106. It will be nice to drain from a tube (3/8 I.D) into a container next time.
I bought a 74/76mm -14 flute cap wrench and it wouldn't fit, even though I test fit it at the autoparts store.
I tried a strap wrench, like the one's I grew up with and had very limited access. It just dented the filter. I've got a Torklift front receiver and access is a b*tch. I could hardly lay a glove on it and it still wouldn't budge.
My inner carpenter said, "get the hammer" and which I did.
My brand new truck! A few taps with my framing hammer I got the the wrench to seat. Using a 3/8" ratchet the rest was easy.
I hand tightened the new filter (Puro Boss), the way Dad taught me. I'll do a leak test tomorrow.
Moral of the Story: Get a BFH
