Oil filter OEM FORD or Mobil
Drive way. Gorilla ramps, harbor freight tools, mobil 1 filter and oil. Gotten 60k trouble free miles so far
To give you perspective, I do my own oil change for $37 (full synthetic mobile one + filter)
10 quarts of Mobil1 and a Motorcraft oil filter, FL-500s. A lot of the you ger generation love the new Pennzoil Platinum Ultra full syn, but to each their own. I change mine religiously at 5k on my '20 GT, I'm up to 20k miles, it's has the tick but it's sporadic and hardly noticeable to me.
I can get 5 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic at Walmart for $24 and a Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil filter for $11 ($12 for Mobil1 Extended Performance). So, $35 for a change plus Walmart's Tire and Lube will take the used oil (so will all part stores by me).
The extended performance of Mobile 1 or Castrol and I use the extended mobile filter.
Then replace at 10k mi.
DYI. Kirkland synthetic for $18 per 5 quart jug and $12 for a Mobil 1 filter.
Are you opposed to doing it yourself ? Reason I ask is because imo it’s the way to go. You can save $25+ and buy decent oil/filter. I’m at $47 with Mobil 1 oil and filter from Walmart.
I had a 2007 Taurus. Oil leakage was the main issue. Get it up on a rack at your favorite service shop and get the oil leaks taken care of. Oil filter is above the starter, so if you are having starter issues, look to see if there is an oil leak on the starter.
My buddy changed oil, and used a Mobil1 filter in his moms Hyundai. It knocked right away. Changed to Hyundai filter and knock quit.
I double gasketed some dude\u2019s oil filter on his Crown Vic and got to enjoy the new experience of swinging an engine into that car for free
