Oil change at 142,200 - Pennzoil high mileage 10W/30.
The oil drain plug is facing downwards on the Explorer (1996 4.0 liter ). FRAM PH8A Oil Filter and FM 105 - Cap wrench compatible with this filter. The space around the oil filter is too little to use a regular filter wrench.
I got the Motorcraft FL-1A but this needs a 36 flute Cap wrench, couldn't find it in a store. Walmart has the filter and wrench under $4. So ended up going with the FRAM because I used the wrench on the FL-1A and crushed the housing at two spots and did not want to risk a breakage for saving $4.
