Oil filter Wix or Motorcraft

Motorcraft Oil filter

Penzoil ultra platinum with a Motorcraft oil filter.

My feeling is pick any reputable fully synthetic oil and stick to it. Make sure to change more sooner than later.

But my feeling is the filter makes all the difference some of those OE spec aftermarket are not as much OE spec. The Motorcraft filter has specific bypass valves that allow optimal oil pressure when you need it. This is crucial for a healthy 5.0 coyote motor.

Pros: optimal oil pressure

Wix Oil filter

I use 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it with Wix filters.

The car runs smoother, burns less oil, idle feels quieter, oil comes out less dirty and overall, the car just feels better.

Pros: runs smoother, burns less oil
Mileage: 230000 km

Wix Oil filter

The car takes a different oil filter (wix 57170). The filter housing has a center structure coming out of it that slides in the bottom of the filter (to keep it in place?) and the new filter doesnt have that. I sat there with a dremel for 2 hours and made the new filter fit. Success, but its still leaking the same amount of oil.

Cons: did not fit correctly, required modification, still leaking oil
Part number: 57170
