fordnut?

I replaced my head lamps on my 2007 ford focus ses I have seen videos on this procedure. Because of the non existence space to do this fix. Some take off the front grill and some other stuff so you can take out the entire lamp assembly . that’s just what you need to do with newer cars. like dismantling it just to replace a head lamp. Well I have had my self in plenty of tight situations when working on my cars over the years. So I left every things on and went at it from the top . If you have smaller hands you are better off. but long fingers are defiantly a plus. But mine not so much on the small side but blessed with long fingers. I was successful but took a lot of patients, and came away with a pretty bad welt on on one of my hands. So this method can be a bit painful. I just was not going to take all that $@$* off and risk not getting it all lined up or breaking cheap plastic fasteners.

I paid $19 for 5 quart's of motor craft OEM 5-20w oil blend . At Walmart. No need to waste money on full synthetic. Your came from the factory with Motor craft 5-20w blend for a reason. Also bought a filter for under $4. In my area It cost over $60 at those oil change places for a oil blend with no say in what brand oil. U will have great satisfaction in doing the job yourself. Wear vinyl or nitrate gloves. Used oil is expecially toxic. P.S. always put news paper or painters disposable tarp cut to size. Under your drain pan. Expecially your first time u are bound to spill some of the old oil. Have fu

U do not want to tighten the oil filter as tight as possible. When installing new filter. Once the filter gasket starts to seat. Tighten no more than 3/4 revolution. Or it will very hard to remove. + Over tighting might distort the gasket, causing a leak
