casper gt · December 16th, 2009, 07:09 PM

I've always used the premium Purolator oil filters, Valvoline synthetic oil, no complaints.

Drick · December 16th, 2009, 07:12 PM

I just use regular 820s Motorcraft oil filters and nothing else. Just something that doesn't realy matter that im anal about lol

F8TL BYT · December 16th, 2009, 07:13 PM

I will only use motorcraft or mobil 1... Never ever use fram they are made of cardboard and junk

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 07:18 PM

lol... thanks

weems · December 16th, 2009, 07:35 PM

motocraft here.

I use the mobil 1 or FMC.. I've been told that WIX are some of the only ones that do some special thing, like keeping the oil closer to the line, positive pressure or some crazy $hit like that..

from wix site..
'Some WIX full-flow filters include anti-drainback and/or filter by-pass valves. These types of filters are identical to full-flow filters, except that a by-pass valve replaces the inner element support and an anti-drainback valve has been added. The Anti-Drainback Valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter inlet holes when the engine is shut off. It also provides seal between clean and dirty oil at the upper end cap. This is necessary in applications where the oil filter is mounted in a horizontal or inverted position."

I always use Motorcraft filter and oil. It's what Ford suggests so it can't be bad for the engine or anything. I've heard Mobil 1 is good too, but it's like twice as much. I change my oil every 2,000 miles so I'm fine with Motorcraft.

Fram sucks worse than a vacuum cleaner, don't use em.

wishIhada5.0 · December 16th, 2009, 08:06 PM

I use motorcraft filters.... have heard purolators are the best though...I tried a few mobil 1 filters and I wasnt too impressed

wraitherx · December 16th, 2009, 08:09 PM

Ive used both Motorcraft and Fram and never had any issues with them. Which ever is cheaper at the time is the one that I will get.

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 08:11 PM

i mean its not like the dam filter is gonna give you like 80hp or forged internals.... right??

wraitherx · December 16th, 2009, 08:12 PM

yeah, I guess the thing that people look for is how much the internal element can pick up in PPM (parts per million). the less things going throught the better but ive never had a problem with any of the two mentioned

Ryguy33 · December 16th, 2009, 08:12 PM

purolator

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 08:15 PM

hmmmm... well how about a motor that has just been rebuilt??
should i buy the "best one" for this matter?

wraitherx · December 16th, 2009, 08:19 PM

mine has less than 10k on it since being rebuilt and have been using both with no problems.

Boostang · December 16th, 2009, 08:23 PM
