Some F150s have remote oil filters which creates a vulnerability that is essential to know about. This 1998 F150 has the oil filter located under the bumper on the drivers side. The oil lines run to the engine or to the engine oil cooler, depending on the options that the truck has. If the crimps begin to leak, the lines could separate, causing immediate engine failure. This is what happened on this short bed, regular cab F150. The replacement part that I used was a Sunsong 5801282 oil cooler line kit which worked well but needed some modification. Dorman 625-201 is an alternate option but has been known to have some leakage issues. Alternatively you can use the OE Motorcraft part, but it is likely to leak again eventually and is very expensive.
