Oil filter Fram or Bosch

I've been using Castrol high mileage 5w-30 lately with Bosch oil filters. I suspect I don't actually have the one I wanted, just the Bosch model fits my V. I think their premium line is supposed to be similar to the Filtech design. I added the appropriate amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to the pan about 100 miles ago. I haven't been calculating mpg, but notice the b20 engine runs smoother.

I use Mobil one and a Bosch filter on my 18 turbo. It's the same thing I use on every car I've ever owned.

I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.

Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.

I pulled off the suspect filter and put a new one on. Unfortunately, I had several variables at play, and could not isolate root cause. Initially, the new filter didn't seem to make much of a difference. It quieted down a little.

Filter out of a 91 Mustang with the 2.3 Lima. Filter was a Fram that was about half as long as it should have been, and it was filled with those tar/sludge globs. They were even coming up on the dipstick.

I've seen more aftermarket (fram, stp, etc) filters that are crushed down towards the center of the filter :thumbdown:. They do not seem to flow as well over time.

Never use Fram Oil Filter.

Bosch filters are almost as bad a FRAM now.
