Motorcraft holds quite a few parents on their fuel filters with certain features that other filter brands don't replicate. Particularly around water blocking features that are critical to the fuel system. Napa filters don't have some of these features.
When a new fuel system is $12K+, it's always motorcraft filters for me.
I had Continental Extreme Contact Sports on previously and I also really liked those, and they were a good bit cheaper considering the size we gotta use.
Plus I've been told its a better filter typically from the dealer.
Been doing some research and debate myself. Come to the conclusion I would stick New Edge brakes in there. V6 and GT got the same brake package, and it's pretty robust, easy to find, and cheap. Remember it's designed for a 3000+ lb car and you're going to a 2400 lb car, so it's already overbraked, and being light it'll be easy on its consumables.
Amsoil 25k Oil in a 2017 Ford Focus. Went 20k miles. Looked like standard 5k oil when it came out. Engine is still doing great 60k later! I do 7500 mile changes with Royal Purple now.
My stock OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500 and I love them for daily and light track days.
On any of the gas trucks with the "modular" engine family (4.2 V-6 and 4.6/5.4 V-8) it seems like if you use anything other than Motorcraft spark plugs and coil packs, the engine won't run right at all, no matter the brand.
At this point I'm chalking it up to cheap-o OEM struts build by the cheapest bidder that managed to squeak through the requirements. With 80K miles, I'm replacing the shocks and struts soon and hoping the problem clears up.
I had them on my 2013 GT. They did not hook up well, and I was stock. They were also noisy. I’d choose something else.
I once went through 3 alternators in 2 days from the Ford dealer on one job.
