For future oil changes you may want to invest in an oil filter wrench set. I've owned a set for a number of years and have found them to be very useful.
Here's an example on Amazon:

I'll be honest, I'm trying to change my oil right now, the 74 MM oil change filter doesn't work. Even though that's what motocraft says you need. I literally cannot loosen this factory tightened filter.

Over the years i have noticed that factory oil filters tend to be very tight.don’t put it on but about hand tight.buy GOOD oil filter wrenches.

Thanks for taking the time to make a video. I am somewhat not in agreement with the early first oil changes . Many people have posted about their early first oil changes . All new engines come with a brake in oil . This oil is a special formula to help the engine brake or wear in . The rings ,bearings and valves need to seat . Changing to a full synthetic oil before this happens can lead to a motor that may have oil consumption . Just my Opinion .

6,000 miles on the Maverick now, time will tell if it blows up before everyone else who has been waiting on oil changes. I treated this motor like a boat motor in some respect. Being gentle on it. Light accelerations, then medium accelerations. Some light pulls (3,500rpm area) up to speed and then letting off. If Ford put a Mercury outboard in my Maverick I'll be set. Gave it a rolling pull around 500 miles and at 750, now with 6,000 miles only one true from a dead stop pull up to 60. Maybe I'll be the first one with a motor dieing before 100k, or one of the few that doesn't abuse the heck out of it on YouTube. Time will tell.
