I use the Fram synthetic XG7317 filters on my summer car, and I only change the oil once a year given how little I drive it (3-4K kms at most annually). The mesh reinforced filter medium gives me peace of mind, and the silicone anti-drainback likely won’t see deterioration if it stays on a bit longer if I decide not to take it out one summer.
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.
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.
Subaru filters are made by Fram/Honeywell, Supertech filters are made by Champion.
I did that with a 300 CID 6 in an 80 F150.
Fram filter, nuf said.
i’d like to introduce you to the honda k series. filter on back of engine, hard to reach from top, hard to reach from bottom, easiest but still hard from wheel well. oh and if it’s a honda element or CRV, it pisses oil all down your subframe and axle shaft.
I had a 2002 Honda CR-V and the oil filter was mounted horizontally on the back of the engine. You had to reach through the RH front wheel well with the wheel removed or turned all the way to the left. Making a mess was completely unavoidable.
All that and he put in a cheap Fram filter?
