I use 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic and the 10,000 mile Mobil1 filter from Walmart. I bought my 2009 TSX nearly 4 years ago with 113,000. It now has 178,950. I'm lucky it doesn't burn any oil, I never have to add oil between changes.
I was having the same noise on cold startup with an aftermarket filter and switched back to the fomoco filter and it went away. Something to do with a drain valve in the filter. The ford one is silicone and some of the aftermarket ones arent and it can cause problems.
Every third oil change use Mobil one oil filter. Ideally their high mileage one. It’s more restrictive. It can and will catch metal particles
I personally use the Ford motorcraft OEM filters in the largest size that fits cleanly with a similar bypass pressure.
Every 5000 miles, it's time for 16 quarts of oil and a filter the approximate size of a Nalgene bottle.
I'm at 115k on my 18' Pilot exclusively using Mobile1 0W-20 synthetic (green gas milage label), changing myself every 8,500miles. I replace with the M1 advanced 110A oil filter and change the engine air filter + cabin filter as well, since new. Discard oil is dark, with a smell thats mild but says, "it's time".
I do use Mobil1, PenzPlatinum, or Valvoline and replace the filter with each change.
Plus a Mobil1 20K filter.
The best oil filter is mobil 1 but there was a batch years back and could tell simply by shaking filter and would rattle.
Raise you a 3.0 ford taurus, which dumped all of the dirty oil right onto the starter.
