2016 CTD, cant' get oil filter out!
Trying to get the oil filter out the side wheel well like shown on youtube but it does not seem to be enough room as it's hitting the metal lines! Any trick to this? I know I can come out the top ...

Thanks for all the info; finally got it out but it was really tight on the adjacent lines. Filled her up with oil and back on the road?
The OE filter was on pretty tight like others had mentioned but I used a 3/8 drive long torque wrench with the fluted cap that grabs the filter at the bottom and was able to get it off pretty easily but it was a slow process moving the filter about 1/8" at a time with the ratchet util it was loose enough to spin off by hand. Dropped it into the gallon zip lock bag but tore the bag getting the filter through the hole and spilled a little bit of oil. Live and learn!
Thanks again for all the help.
