Oil filter Fram or Motorcraft

I use a compatible Motorcraft filter and the Havoline synthetic that comes in the box. It gets hot. The engine is just fine. You don’t need to fret over fancy oil. It’s a Lexus.

Bought a dealer Sell Pack of 12 Motorcraft filters at Rockauto.

I used to go for the Fram Ultra Synthetic (not at all the same as the cheap Frams), but lately I've been getting Bosch or AC Delco filters from the internet, as they're decent quality and very inexpensive (1/3 the price of a Fram Ultra).

Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic 0W20 with a Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filter. Every car I've owned gets this (weight varies by engine requirements). Runs better and longer than M1EP, Castrol GTX, Valvoline MaxLife, and it's cheaper than Royal Purple and still can be bought at Walmart.

IMO, best bang for your buck is Fram XG6607.

Yesterday I put 10w-40 in it since it seemed like it could help at least a little. It does have a Fram filter on it now.

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.

If it has a Fram oil filter on it (filter is located below the coolant expansion tank) then walk away.
