Oil filter Wix or OEM FORD

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.

I added one to my Ford Excursion years ago. Loved having it. Turn the key to on, wait for the oil pressure gauge to register, crank.

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.

Wix xp filter

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

Oem filter or wix WL10078. For oil pennzoil platinum or ultra platinum 5w30 (whichever is cheaper).

I used to strictly go OEM with the blue filters, but switched to WIX after watching this:No issues to report.. little more peace of mind

Right now I have Red Line 5w30 and a wix filter due to what I’ve read on forums

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.
