I used 30W Ford Super Premium Motor Oil and a Ford FL-1A filter, and I changed the oil and filter, and greased every component myself, including the U-joints every 3,000 miles where necessary. I asked my Uncle who manufactured this oil, and he didn\u2019t know, UNTIL one day, he received a case of oil Labeled as Exon Uniflo, one of the highest rated brands at the time. It was obvious, at least to me, that Ford Super Premium engine oil and Exon Uniflo were one and the same. I sold the car 5 years later with almost 98,000 miles on it, and absolutely no engine problems.
Pros: no engine problems
Vehicle:
Ford Galaxy
Mileage: 98000 km
Part number: FL-1A

Cons: OEM filter tiny
Vehicle:
Ford
