Oil filter K&N or OEM FORD
My personal recommendation is a Ford OEM filter, 10qt Pennz Ultimate Platinum 5w30, and one bottle of Ceratec to help with the infamous "Coyote tick". Many will argue for Ceratec, many will argue against. All I know is my car is quieter with than without.
Pros: quieter engine
Been running Pennzoil Ultra and Ford OEM filter on my PP1 and now my Mach 1 for 5 years. Never had a single issue, even with some track days and AutoX.
Pros: no issues, reliable performance
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.
Pros: loved having it
Vehicle:
Ford Excursion
If you're vehicle manufacturer has an extended change interval then this filter will work with that. Some Porsches have 20,000 mile changes intervals and this filter is able to last that interval. Do the oil change as is recommended by your manufacturer. The K&N oil filters are killer and treat your car well.
Pros: long lasting, good quality
Vehicle:
Porsche
Mileage: 20000 km
you can slap some new wheels on for a fresher look but obviously do this with number 2 in mind.
Pros: fresher look
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
I have used K&N filter the entire time on my car. Owned it for almost 5 years and never had a problem.
Pros: no problems, long lasting
I highly recommend getting the k&n oil filter having a socket ready filter saves so much frustration
Pros: socket ready filter
Cons: frustration
OEM. I order a bunch off of Rock Auto. Two of the K&Ns I've had leaked just the tiniest bit but enough to be annoying. Granted, I'm not on a stock turbo or stock by any means, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Cons: tiny leaks, annoying
I changed my oil yesterday and was baffled to see how dirty my oil was at 5k miles!! Those k&n oil filters may have higher flow but mannnn do they get dirty. Do not recommend.
Cons: gets dirty quickly
Mileage: 5000 km
Those KN filters are so tiny and I have had one break in my NA Ford Falcon so I don't use them any more.
Cons: filters are so tiny, one break
Vehicle:
Ford
