Oil filter AMSOIL or OEM FORD
I use amsoil oil and amsoil filter
I have experience with the long drain intervals from Amsoil. I have 2 dodge vehicles with 3.6L engines both at around 130,000 km and I use the signature series 5w20 with Amsoil filter and I go about 18,000 km before I change the oil.
Pros: long drain intervals
Vehicle:
Dodge
Mileage: 130000 km
I do this every time. I buy my amsoil and filter and the dealer only charges me labor
Pros: uses Amsoil products
I'm running the amsoil remote filter, it will help with your oil quality.
Pros: helps with oil quality
Plus I've been told its a better filter typically from the dealer.
Pros: better filter
Vehicle:
Ford Fusion
I installed an AMSoil satellite oil filter. I change it out every 15k and change my oil and primary oil filter at 30k.
Pros: extended filter life
Mileage: 15000 km
I've tried a number of different filters from OEM, Purolator, Amsoil, and Prova. I will say this. When I used the Amsoil filter and did an oil change, the oil came out looking like it went in. So no, not all filter are created equal. I haven't done an oil change with the Prova yet. Not driving as much with WFH.
Pros: oil looked clean
Cons: not all filters equal
Vehicle:
Subaru
My XJ channels its ww2 roots with Ford diesel oil and an FL-1A filter.
Part number: FL-1A
when I did the first oil change on my car I removed an aftermarket Filter. The OEM filter was about 1/3 larger, and weighed the same as the aftermarket filter full of oil. Just makes me wonder how much more there is inside the OEM filter.
Pros: larger filter
Cons: smaller aftermarket filter
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
Just had an amsoil filter fail at the gasket. The inner diameter was too small causing a crease in the gasket that leaked after 4 months use. Nearly ran me dry.
Cons: gasket leak, filter failure
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
