I did this job today on a 5.7L 2007. I would add a step for the plastic special tool to drain the filter case. It looks like it should snap in, but it's hard to provide that much force so I put it in the top of an empty wine bottle and pushed it on. It snapped in place and drained into the bottle. With the tool in place and full open, it didn't take long before it was just dripping. Could also add a hose to the tool so you don't have to hold the reservoir you drain too. I didnt have one that large laying around.
I always take my filler cap off too when I'm draining oil so air can displace the oil more easily.
Thanks for this information. Especially the torque values. I had a terrible time getting the filter cover off but should be easier now that there is oil on the threads and torqued just enough.
I will do it again - but I won't like it!
Thanks,
Chetzkie
