Motorcraft oil filters are crap. Buy the fram Ultra equivalent, they are THE BEST oil filters on the market, not Wix, not K&N, it is the fram ULTRA. It has been researched and tested time and time again by independent studies to filter the most particulates of any oil filter on the market.
I'd only mix in half a quart each OCI, just to keep the oil pump happy. Nonetheless, it'll be fine. My '08 3.3L Chrysler takes 5w20 & I always replace a quart with 5w30 or 0w20, depending on the season. My '06 3.8L Buick takes 5w30, I typically replace a quart with 10w30 since I live in the desert. Doing so, in combination with only using Purolator & ACDELCO (personal preference) filters & changing them every 3k as recommended, keep my engines happy with their age
Id also pick up the Fram ultra filter
-Full synth Pennzoil oil and any of the Fram synthetic-friendly filters plus the BG EPR and MOA treatment before and after every change.
I use cheap Fram filters ($4 each!) Oil always clean and fresh.
That's a poor quality filter on there, last oil change must have been at a quickie lube. People will argue left and right about which filter, but the fram gold XG series filters with the grippy paint on them are great, and usually under 10 bucks.
Fram filters are junk. It's the only brand of oil filter I've ever seen/heard of actually collapsing on someone, and I've seen it twice. I'd avoid them like the plague.
I did that with a 300 CID 6 in an 80 F150.
Fram filter, nuf said.
All that and he put in a cheap Fram filter?
The shop I bought it from refunded me for the fram oil filter and my engine is fine but I’m pretty disappointed in myself for not doing anything when I noticed the gasket on the filter was a little big, I thought fram was just improving their seal bc I’ve had a few filters develop small drips. But just thought I would share my experience I think I’ll also spend a little more and get wix if their performance isn’t better Ik their quality control is bc every filter is sealed.
