Oil filter Fram or Motorcraft

-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 still recommend the OEM oil. I have a mechanic that let's me provide my own parts (if I wish) for a job at no cost. When he does my oil changes I provide the Motorcraft Oil and Oil Filter.

I use cheap Fram filters ($4 each!) Oil always clean and fresh.

When I did the change at home-used the motor craft filter FL190S and mobile 1 full synthetic for $35.00. Biggest pain at home is removing the panel under the chassis.

I have no issue with their higher end filters, I'm actually running one on my wrangler currently but their budget filters are atrociously bad

used a FRAM on my Escape and I had a weird oil pressure issue where the CEL and oil can lights came on

I lost a good 440 to a Fram that came apart. Anomaly or otherwise, that was the last Fram product I ever bought.

My father changed a Fram filter years ago and noticed the filtration media became dislodged and looked like if you crushed a piece of paper in your hand. So the filter wasn't doing anything and luckily it didn't get sucked up in the engine and cause catastrophic damage. I highly advise against buying Fram.

Crap quality. I quit using them after I had one start leaking the day after I put it on.

Thin shells, terrible filer media and questionable anti-drain back valves.
