vs
Oil filter VALVOLINE or OEM FORD
OEM ford filter will be better then you will get at most oil changes spots and the same if you pay the dealership
Pros: better quality
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
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.
Pros: noise went away, silicone valve
I personally use the Ford motorcraft OEM filters in the largest size that fits cleanly with a similar bypass pressure.
I have been unfortunate enough to be underneath a customers car, taking the oil filter off, when they decided to fire it up. If that Valvoline didn't put the filter on right, you would have known driving home not In a month.
Every 5000 miles, it's time for 16 quarts of oil and a filter the approximate size of a Nalgene bottle.

Oem is pretty much everyone’s go to ( for good reasons ) but valvoline actually has an updated filter for our cars that matches oem & I’ve been using them for last 6 oil changes ( 30,000km ) & I’ve had 0 issues
Pros: zero issues, matches OEM
Mileage: 30000 km
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.
Pros: engine will last
Cons: oil leakage issue
Vehicle:
Ford Taurus
Ford Oil filter is less than 50 AED. No clue what's the difference between the one branded as FORD vs MOTORCRAFT, but hey - you can even get a sport oil filter from K&N for around 60 AED... damn marketing.
Pros: cheap oil filter
Cons: marketing concerns
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
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
Pros: new experience
Cons: swinging engine for free
Vehicle:
Ford
Their most recent mistake cost me my entire vehicle. They put my oil filter cover on without an oil filter. This caused debris from less than three months to create enough friction to blow a piston arm in my engine.
Cons: blew a piston arm
