Motorcraft › Oil filter

I'm not sure if the 2008 v6s still had plastic tensioners, but I know my 2004 4.0 did. I had to have it replaced at one point. Unfortunately with the 4.0 engine, removing timing covers with the engine still in the truck is kind of difficult and a shop might want to pull it to do this kind of work. I believe that's what they did on mine. Using motorcraft oil filters could help, but it didn't make mine go away, so I eventually had it replaced.

Cons: didn't solve issue

Vehicle: Ford Ranger

I’d recommend using motorcraft FL820S filters only. They have better anti drainback valves than the Fram filters and will help retain oil in your top end.

Pros: better anti drainback valves

Part number: FL-820S

My opinion… 5W-30. I drive mine year round in a cold northern state. I was always told that if you’re hard on it at all and run it into higher rpm’s sometimes the coyote likes the heavier weight.

Pros: coyote likes heavier weight

Vehicle: Ford Mustang

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

Leaks:

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
