Full synthetic Motorcraft for my Shelby, Roush, SHO, and Focus 1.0 ecoboost.

Ford performance oil filter for the Shelby. Motorcraft for the others.

Why? I had a Ford tech tell me any and all problems they'd ever seen with a Shelby engine involved one that used non-Motorcraft brand in engine or filter.

Pros: no problems with engine

Vehicle: Ford

Now, I realized that the engine oil the mechanic put on when I got the camshaft replaced in november, is actually meant for cars. The oil is the ELF sporti TXI 10W40.
