Job 1 Oil Change Help

[rod.10853]

Me and New2Ford are working on changing the oil
on his Job 1 truck. I thought it would be easy and
fast ... but we found that his oil cap looks different
than mine. That is to say, the FL-2016 oil filter
doesn't snap into the cap on his the way that it
does on my Job 3 truck. My truck has the cap with
the extended "teeth" allowing the filter to lock in.
His cap doesn't. What's deal? Does the Job 1 truck
use a different filter? Or, is the cap different? I've
heard of some aftermarket filters coming with their
own cap. Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks for the info, Dusten. So, the job 1 trucks have an OEM
oil filter cap that is different? Or, do you think the cap that is
on his truck came from a previous aftermarket filter that
came with it's own cap? It just seems to me that the cap
that is on there now isn't really compatible with the FL-2016
filter. Also, the filter we pulled out of the oil filter housing
didn't have the "locking" part on it either. The filter that
we pulled out wasn't a Motorcraft filter ...

I just did the oil change in my job 1. the previous was done by a shop near my job. they used a wix filter which you cannot use with a motorcraft filte. the wix is like a one piece unit. the shop threw my other cap out.. had to buy one from ford 22.50...

check to see if the top plastic plate is stuck in the cap. One filter I changed the plastic piece came off the filter and was stuck in the cap. once I got it out the new filter fit. Mine is a job 1 and it is the same as job 2 and 3s

Nothing stuck in the cap. The inside of the cap doesn't even
have any place for something to get stuck. But, otherwise
the cap looks just like mine ... it looks OEM but doesn't have
a way to lock the filter in how mine does. Also, the oil filter
we pulled out doesn't have anything to lock in either.

This is what I was thinking is the case with this one ... that
maybe the OEM cap was chucked at some point and replaced
with one that works with aftermarket filters. But, the cap looks
totally OEM except the inside

the top plastic plate on the old oil filter fits in snuggly to the cap I had to push it to make sure it was not part of the cap it was a pain to get the old plastic out it was snapped in tight to the cap. push on the inside edge of the cap and just see if it moves there was no hole in the piece that was stuck in the cap and it looked like it was part of the cap
