Motorcraft oil filters are also known for being of great quality.
Purolator was the producer of our filters last time I checked. Motorcraft filters are surprisingly good considering how cheap they are. The bypass setup, filter media, housing and overall quality are higher than what you’d get at a fast lube place.
Motorcraft filters are made by Purolator. It's been my experience that Motorcraft filters work perfectly fine. I used Motorcraft oil as well until I switched to full synthetic.
$5 Motorcraft oil filter from Rock Auto
The motorcraft filters I've seen for fords have the pressure relief at the end that screws on, top in most cases. Most others have it at the bottom. Since crud settles to the bottom if that relief opens with the relief at the bottom its gonna send that crud into the engine.
Absolutely not. Example, I was an equipment manager at a Petroleum tank company. On our generator I tried to use several different manufacturers and the all blew the seals out because of filter material and pressure valves they used. I ended up buying OEM filters and never had a problem after that.
For my 2010 3.0L V6 Fusion I loaded up on the Havoline Pro-DS full synthetic 6quart eco boxes in the 0w20, 5w20, and 5w30 viscosities and always run a Motorcraft FL-500S filter.
My 315k mile powerstroke goes 7500 with no noticeable wear with motorcraft filters
