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 ...

Try pre filling the filter and raising it up and screwing it on.
Simple...dont do it. Its not a requirement
I asked my dealer, they don't prefill the filters. They say #1 risk of contamination by prefilling (because oil down the middle isn't filtered) and #2 because its a pain in the neck.
They are the ones that would have to do warranty work on my truck and they charge me about the same price it would cost to do myself ($65). I'm fine with them assuming any potential risk for not prefilling the filter.
