6 quarts of Castrol edge full synthetic 5w30 and Motorcraft fl400s
Make sure you get an oil that is dexos gen 2
Pros: full synthetic, dexos gen 2
Part number: FL400S
I WAS using Subscribe and Save for Amazon Full Synthetic 5W-30 and Motorcraft FL-910S Filters, but they keep running out of stock
Pros: convenient subscription
Cons: out of stock
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Part number: FL-910S
if you use the Ford/Motor raft FL400S, you can put all 6 qts in. Our engines benefit in some way or another from the bit of extra oil, iirc. Makes it easier than measuring out to get to the 5. whatever the stock filter size is
Pros: easier fill, engine benefit
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Part number: FL400S
OEM for the engine oil filter.
Pros: OEM quality

I only use WIX filters on my 04XT. They’re about the only ones that have the correct bypass pressure rating off the Amazon “shelf,” and their build quality is top-notch. I pay attention to things like this because I have an older turbocharged model with performance upgrades- she’s a bit picky haha.
Pros: correct bypass pressure, top-notch build quality
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Quality air filter changed regularly. Quality oil filter Frams higher end stuff are surprisingly well made for the $.
Pros: surprisingly well made
Since I've owned it, I've performed all the work listed below with genuine VW parts when possible. I've also flushed the oil with Liqui-Moly engine flush, and performed a Seafoam cleaning. Afterwards, oil was changed to Liqui-Moly 5w40 Synthoil Premium and new Hengst oil filter.
Pros: Hengst oil filter

Volkswagen
I have had a Fram orange can of death implode on a car I owned. Dunno how long it was running with Un-filtered oil but the motor never died. I quit using the El cheapo ones.
Cons: imploded, unfiltered oil
Filter out of a 91 Mustang with the 2.3 Lima. Filter was a Fram that was about half as long as it should have been, and it was filled with those tar/sludge globs. They were even coming up on the dipstick.
Cons: wrong size, filled with sludge
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
