Oil filter Wix or Motorcraft

Motorcraft Oil filter

I use Motorcraft Full Synthetic (or Castrol Edge Full Synthetic). The oil filter is Motorcraft OEM. Everything gets changed every 5,000 miles.

Pros: top marks, great test

Motorcraft Oil filter

Rating 4.0

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.

Pros: silicone anti drain back
Cons: rubber ones don't seal

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.

Pros: believer in OEM filters
Cons: Don't skimp on filter

Wix Oil filter

I’ve long done 7500 oil change intervals for my naturally aspirated cars, and I’m sticking to 5000 in my turbocharged Subaru now, always with synthetic (Mobil 1 or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, and a Wix XP oil filter).

Pros: synthetic oil, regular maintenance
Vehicle: Subaru

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.

Pros: no issues with synth
Vehicle: Ford
Mileage: 255000 km

Wix Oil filter

I think WIX changed their manufacturing process because the one I bought appears to be plastic tack'd to the main housing now, and the ring breaks off when taking the old filter off.

Cons: ring breaks off
