Where is the oil filter located in the Ford Explorer?

Model: Ford Explorer MK 5, U502 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Oil filter

In this video, you can see where the oil filter is positioned in the Ford Explorer. As shown, it is located in the typical position underneath the vehicle, right next to the exhaust pipe. If you need to replace it, first open the upper filler cap, then drain all the oil by unscrewing the appropriate drain bolt located at the bottom. Once this is done, you can unscrew the filter, insert oil into it, and screw it back into its housing. Finally, proceed to add new oil into the system.
