I’d recommend using motorcraft FL820S filters only. They have better anti drainback valves than the Fram filters and will help retain oil in your top end.
I’ve got a 2013 3.5 eb and I change my oil every 4k miles. I do my own changes and use Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 with a Mobil 1 oil filter.
AcDelco filters and Mobil 1 filters are always good options to pick from. Don't get the 4 dollar Fram, please.
I use Motocraft oil filter also available there.
Mobil 1 filters are fine. I use them all the time in my E92 and I'm at 250k miles with ZERO engine issues. My car is used for commuting and has no modifications to it.
I chose to use Mobil1 0w16 oil and a Mobil1 oil filter ...made in Vietnam.
My opinion… 5W-30. I drive mine year round in a cold northern state. I was always told that if you’re hard on it at all and run it into higher rpm’s sometimes the coyote likes the heavier weight.
Recently changed oil and filter, installed Motorcraft filter.
Motorcraft until they tripled the price. Got a bunch of Purolator Boss’s before their price went up
I'm not sure if the 2008 v6s still had plastic tensioners, but I know my 2004 4.0 did. I had to have it replaced at one point. Unfortunately with the 4.0 engine, removing timing covers with the engine still in the truck is kind of difficult and a shop might want to pull it to do this kind of work. I believe that's what they did on mine. Using motorcraft oil filters could help, but it didn't make mine go away, so I eventually had it replaced.
