Oil filter Motorcraft or OEM Subaru

Get some ramps, 17mm socket, oil (5w30 or 0w20), oil filter (Subaru p/n 15208AA170.... don't know the Toyota p/n off the top of my head)

Recently changed oil and filter, installed Motorcraft filter.

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.

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.

I use motorcraft full synthetic and motorcraft filters.

5000 miles, full synthetic, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Do it myself to make sure it's done right. Use the Motorcraft OEM filter.

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.

Avoid the blue Subaru filters. They are Fram made with cheap components.
