Yes the filter’s not bad to do if you can get the car fairly high. Difficult if not impossible on regular diy ramps but do-able on taller stands, or wind-up diy ramps, and easy on a 4 poster. It hangs vertically and you can get a socket strap wrench on it easily enough.

Did ours several times and always used the Mobil recommendation (Ford 913C spec) as it comes in 5L packs rather than 4L and Halfords often have it on offer,
