The oil filter on my '15 EcoBoost is incredibly hard to access. I have the 4x4 with HD Towing, and the metal skid plate leaves no room to remove the filter in the gap even after the very difficult access just to loosen it. Next time, I'm going to attempt to remove the skid plate entirely before trying to remove the filter. The first (and only) time so far, I had to loosen the bolts on the skid plate just to be able to slip the filter out between the front of the skid plate and whatever suspension component (anti-sway bar?) is in front of it. It was the worst experience ever in my 50 years of DIY oil changes! Horrible design.
