Oil filter Motorcraft or Mobil
I use Motorcraft Full Synthetic (or Castrol Edge Full Synthetic). The oil filter is Motorcraft OEM. Everything gets changed every 5,000 miles.
Motorcraft filters use a silicone anti drain back valve ADBV. Cheapos use rubber ones that get hard in the cold and don\u2019t seal. If they don\u2019t seal oil leaks out of the hydraulic chain tensioners and they aren\u2019t pressurized when the engine starts, so the chain isn\u2019t tensioned and it rattles for a second against the plastic guide before oil pressure comes back.
Im using mobil 1 extended performance with the factory oil filter...so far so good.
I use 5w30 mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter thats guaranteed to 20k miles, and I change it at around 10k. No noises, runs great. Done 34k miles in 7 months.
I use Mobile 1, 5/30 in my F150 EcoBoost...287K on it. Change every 6K . And I am an absolute believer in OEM filters. My new Bronco gets the same treatment. Don't skimp on the filter.
While Ford said you can use 5-20 I know where I live it gets warmer than 86 degrees so in my F150 I run 5-30 or 10/40.
I’ve had no issues with synth and have 255k on it.
Also…I would recommend a Motorcraft filter.
Usually I get them in bulk from the dealership. Are cheaper when comparing with the aftermarket and are very good OEM filters. When I don't have one available, I use Mobil 1 M-108A and I get it from Walmart when I get the oil.
Currently running a mobil1 oil filter since they have good filtration for reasonably good flow.
The best oil filter is mobil 1 but there was a batch years back and could tell simply by shaking filter and would rattle.
Stay away from Motorcraft filters, they are aweful.
