I run wix xp on mine. No problems.
I’ve been using 5w30 Castrol full advanced synthetic, with a wix oil filter for all seasons and have had 0 issues.
and get a Wix filter or some mid level filter. dont buy the cheapest one out there. 9-15 dollars is about how much you want to spend on a filter. But it works great.
I use Mobil One in all my cars (15k stuff) but still change it at 5k - it’s pretty black by then - I also use WIX oil filter that is rated one of the best
I've used the spec Motorcraft filter (820S), and Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic oil EVERY TIME. This truck has been an absolute beast, and dead nuts reliable.
Their WIX XP line is about as good as you can get. Virtually the same as the FRAM Ultras. For normal WIX filters, I consider them to be average. They are what you should get at minimum, anything below is not worth buying. A "gold standard" in fitlers, if you will.
This time around I used a Wix filter (which oddly has no branding on the can but is exactly the same as the Mann filter for these cars). I chose to use non-VW-price-gauging oil which doesn't have their certification but I am pretty confident would meet it: Zepro Eco Medalist 0W20. It's an excellent oil intended for small displacement turbocharged vehicles.
I use WIX filters a lot - excellent reputation.
Wix are a pretty high quality replacement per my experience. Wix are certainly good enough to validate that behavior is not unique to the STP filter.
Motorcraft are good. Mobil1 Filters are very good, and are a great idea if your going to for long OCI's. I've used filters from Baldwin - they got very good reviews on the cut-apart tests - and I have a place where I can order a half dozen at a time for less than what I pay for Frams at Walmart. I am using Motorcraft on my F250
