Oil filter OEM Honda or OEM FORD

You should definitely change the oil. I always recommend doing an oil change when you buy a car. When I bought my 22 civic and took it to service (because it was still in warranty) the mechanic told me it was a great thing i brought it in because the filter was so loose that he basically did 2 turns before oil started coming out. You never want to risk anything.

OEM ford filter will be better then you will get at most oil changes spots and the same if you pay the dealership

I was having the same noise on cold startup with an aftermarket filter and switched back to the fomoco filter and it went away. Something to do with a drain valve in the filter. The ford one is silicone and some of the aftermarket ones arent and it can cause problems.

I personally use the Ford motorcraft OEM filters in the largest size that fits cleanly with a similar bypass pressure.

Every 5000 miles, it's time for 16 quarts of oil and a filter the approximate size of a Nalgene bottle.

After the A01's ceased production I moved to Bosch and Wix filters.

I don't have it all figured out, but whatever my mechanic tends to install causes the engine to run louder. The A01 filters were much quieter, even than A02.

I've used the A02 filter many times, and got them in bulk from Amazon. They're good. When I buy from the dealer, I get a 003 instead -- fewer holes, and made by Tennex instead of Honeywell. I find it easier to get A02 on the aftermarket at a better price, so usually go with that.

1995 ford crown Vic, you have to turn the wheels to remove the filter.

Raise you a 3.0 ford taurus, which dumped all of the dirty oil right onto the starter.

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.
