Oil filter Mahle or Mobil
Every 5k for my fusion. I buy Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil or Fram filter from Walmart and do it myself.
Anyway I always ran Mobil 1 5W-20 full synthetic with their filters and change every 5k, but have since just switched the Costcos brand of oil. Can get it for a pretty good price when it goes on sale so I just stock up. Reviews have said it’s a good quality oil so that’s just what I use.
Do the oil change and use a high-quality filter such as mobil 1 . Then change every 1000 miles.
I use Mobil 1 High Mileage Synthetic along with the Mobil 1 filter.
This is probably going to get buried, but my quarter of a million mile 2.7 has an issue with oil pressure on initial startup.
Only when it's below 20° Fahrenheit, and only with fram ultra synthetic filters.
I've changed oils a number of of times and it's never made a lick of difference.
However, running a mobil one oil filter has dramatically improved cold start oil pressure.
My two cents, spend money on the filter, get a good deal on the oil that is within spec
I changed my oil filter at the 350 mile mark and upgraded to the Mobil 1 M1-104A oil filter. Just passed 1300 miles and it's doing just fine.
I'm using the M1-104A on my 2022 INT650 and haven't had any issues. It's got about 2500 miles since I changed the oil/filter after the break in.
For oil filters, the highest-rated brand performance-wise was the Mobil 1 Filter. Stay away from Fram, cheap shit. Take one apart some time and you'll see why.
It is supose to be a good filter & the top of the line for filtering out small particles but not the best flowing. My car was a little more noisy with it so I switched back to VW filters.
I wanted to give you guys a little insight on my recent discovery. I have always changed my oil @ 10K miles, using mainly pentosin and Hengst or mann filters. On occasion when I don't have time to wait for oil to ship to me, I've used German Castrol and autozone filters (either STP, Fram or Mobil 1). The picture below is what my mobil 1 oil filter looked like after 9K miles w/ German Castrol. Mind you I have NEVER had a Hengst/Mann/Fram/STP look like this when changing my oil. Another tid bit of info, My oil was much blacker this oil change than it has ever been.
