I moved the oil pan under the filter and finished taking it off. It fell in with a plop. According to this picture gravity reversed itself at that moment and it fell up instead of down. Thanks Gravity!

Lift up the metal housing and the filter itself will fall right out.

The new filter is like 3 inches longer than mine. ARRGH! Guess what isn't in stock anywhere around here? That's right! My filter! For reference, the filter that fits is a CarQuest part number 85121. It'll be here Monday.

I'm completely stuck until Monday on both projects. Is the world trying to tell me something?

I turned my attention to the oil filter housing. It got a good soap and water cleaning, then a good hand cleaner (fast orange) scrubbing because Dawn didn't cut this oil. Next it got a wire wheeling.

I debated putting Herculiner on it to keep it safe under the truck but it was originally black gloss so I wanted to stay true to the original color and texture. Plus I didnt want to have the herculiner get all over the nut/seal and make it leak.

That's it till Monday when I'll have a filter to put in it. Then I'll get back on the wheel as soon as the socket gets here.
