Oil filter Wix or Motorcraft

Wix in everything.

Purolator and Wix filters are made by mann+hummel. Both are excellent filters. The Wix filter part# 57002 is made specifically for the 2.5 non turbo Skyactive engine because it does not have an anti drain back valve and same goes for oem. 0w20 only comes in synthetics so as long as you use what is recommended in the manual you can use your favorite oil. I will be doing 3-4K oci.

I use Amsoil Signature Series and a Wix Filter.

For 7 years i’ve religiously used motorcraft 5w-30 and motorcraft oil filters in my ‘97 crown vic lx and it’s been great

Wix xp filter

Motor sounds so much better already and oil psi stays between 58 and 62

I maintain 4 6.7s, in f350 and f450. Motorcraft filters and full synthetic 5w40 are my choice. I send Blackstone oil samples periodically and change them at 8k. So far, Blackstone keeps telling me I can let the oil go longer.

Motorcraft oil filters are also known for being of great quality.

Purolator was the producer of our filters last time I checked. Motorcraft filters are surprisingly good considering how cheap they are. The bypass setup, filter media, housing and overall quality are higher than what you’d get at a fast lube place.

I have used Wix filters. Wasn't the biggest fan of the plastic end caps on the filter, but aside from that they worked just fine.

Wix filters are not as good as Hengst or Mann for the VR6. Yes, they make good filters, just not for the VR6. They can't handle the high oil pressure.
