Oil filter Motorcraft or STP
Do you drive this to the strip club?
While Ford said you can use 5-20 I know where I live it gets warmer than 86 degrees so in my F150 I run 5-30 or 10/40.
I’ve had no issues with synth and have 255k on it.
Also…I would recommend a Motorcraft filter.
I use motorcraft full synthetic and motorcraft filters.
5000 miles, full synthetic, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Do it myself to make sure it's done right. Use the Motorcraft OEM filter.
I still recommend the OEM oil. I have a mechanic that let's me provide my own parts (if I wish) for a job at no cost. When he does my oil changes I provide the Motorcraft Oil and Oil Filter.
When I did the change at home-used the motor craft filter FL190S and mobile 1 full synthetic for $35.00. Biggest pain at home is removing the panel under the chassis.
Personally I’ll ONLY use the manufacturer filters on my vehicles and I’ll look through the catalogs to find the largest filter that fits. I’ve been using Motorcraft FL1As on my pu for the 28 years I’ve owned it and it’s cheap insurance.
I've always had good luck with the FL 820s in a 3.0.
I've seen those leaking at the crimp now multiple times.
Dont buy a Stp, had my oil changed on my 09 Legacy, a few days later I notice a drip and the usual burning smell while driving . Took It back to mechanic and they said there was a dot on filter so they swapped It out. Burning smell still there but leak was not seen, so I bought a Purolator and changed It myself now no problems.
