6.7 Oil Filter Removal

[mrudnick1998]

I started looking around and getting pn#s for belts, filters, etc..
On my 6.7, the oil filter is above a coolant hose which is not flexible. Was wondering if anyone has yet changed the filter. There is a shut off valve forward of the hose but I still think I would lose coolant on the opposite side if I decided to disconnect to gain access to the filter.

Yours looks worse than mine, but your rig is newer. I use the filter wrench below as there is no access from the side, but I don’t have as much stuff in the way.
