Oil filter Fram or Motorcraft

My feeling is pick any reputable fully synthetic oil and stick to it. Make sure to change more sooner than later.

But my feeling is the filter makes all the difference some of those OE spec aftermarket are not as much OE spec. The Motorcraft filter has specific bypass valves that allow optimal oil pressure when you need it. This is crucial for a healthy 5.0 coyote motor.

When I first started to change my own oil I didn't have the proper wrench and just hand tightened my filter on. Drove like 10k on that and didn't have any issues.

Fram FE9688 for my WRX and BRZ too. I’m tempted to run two oil changes to one filter change as the filter says it’s good up to 25,000 miles.

For 7 years i’ve religiously used motorcraft 5w-30 and motorcraft oil filters in my ‘97 crown vic lx and it’s been great

Their high end filters(ultra synthetic, tough guard) are quality filters, but I would stay away from their economy filters, same goes for any other similar filter

Dont use a fram filter.... That will help a TON. There is a reason almost nobody uses Fram except walmart. I wouldnt trust the base fram past 3k period

When I seat this fram titanium filter in the oil filter housing it doesn’t make that audible click when you push it down and fit snug. It is loose in the oil filter housing and moves around.

Almost any filter is better than a fram.

Don’t use Fram filters they are trash
