The internet is your friend. You have to take the front left wheel off the Ford Ranger, and the oil filter is under a removable panel. Took me two minutes to find the info.
I have seven cars, and on anything I’m not super familiar with, I watch the procedure online, even if just to get refreshed. There are occasional flakes making car repair videos, but it’s usually pretty easy to strain out the BS.
Yes. On-line has been the best support. As I said, car manufacturers have tried to move into the maintenance racket. They don’t want to help you maintain your vehicle or even make it convenient to do so.
BTW, you don’t have to take off the wheel. A good right turn makes it accessible.
