How to you take off the oil filter on a 1979 International Scout V8 345ci. I know this sounds dumb but the filter looks big.DoI just unscrew it, like I would any other filter?

If so, a strap type wrench, or the socket type, should unscrew it!

Insure the old gasket came off with the old filter.

Lube new gasket, Screw on the new filter, till gasket contacts engine, then One More Full Turn (360 degree).
