Get under the truck below the engine compartment and you will see a round plastic access cover. Give it about half a turn and it will come off and you will see your oil filter.

My 4.7 is driver side front of engine. Lay on the ground in front of your truck, open the round access door on the underskirting below the radiator.

Also, when you change it, cut a 2 liter coke bottle in halve and hold it over the filter as you unscrew it or you'll get oil all over your arm.

I changed my oil last weekend and finally dropped in som AMSOIL 10w30
Anyway. I was using a cut out coke 2-liter bottle and damn it I DROPPED the thing up in there and made an even BIGGER mess!
Anyway. It's EASY to get to the oil filter on a 4.7, but NOT easy to avoid making a mess :(

I decided to make that plastic splash guard a bit easier to remove, so I replaced those push-in pins with dzus (sp?) fasteners. Screwdriver and about 15 seconds and it's out of the way. Still use the 2 liter bottle trick, though.
