Walmart stopped selling Motorcraft around here about 6 months ago.
Good point about leaving your FEH overnight for an oil and filter change. You seen they didn't have the parts in stock.

It was a struggle but, yeah, I got that sucker off without a wrench. My secret is to swear a lot...getting it back on wasn't too bad since I oiled the hell out of the o-ring. I have the correct wrench now anyway for next time.
Walmart quit selling Motorcraft stuff after Ford quit selling to them. At least that's what I read on another board. Don't remember the whole story.
I had to get my new '06 inspected today so while I waited I went to the parts department. The '05 and '06 filter is the same part thankfully. The funny thing is they had the filter but not the o-ring. I asked them if they changed the o-ring with every oil change like the book says and I got the old blank stare. That answered my question. Otherwise, wouldn't they keep a like number of elements and o-rings in stock?
