I used the WIX as it looked like it matched the dealer installed filter better. It also has internal O rings that seem to seal it better on the shaft.
I still recommend the OEM oil. I have a mechanic that let's me provide my own parts (if I wish) for a job at no cost. When he does my oil changes I provide the Motorcraft Oil and Oil Filter.
For filters I have never been done wrong by wix. Price is right and the quality is there. I converted my hilux to use wix 51515 filters because I was sick of ordering them from australia for $40 each, and definitely not buying the $80 one I could get locally. Now my filters cost me like $7. Will pay for the cost of the conversion in a couple years of oil changes.
When I did the change at home-used the motor craft filter FL190S and mobile 1 full synthetic for $35.00. Biggest pain at home is removing the panel under the chassis.
A good filter is $15 (I use Wix XP) and I get my full synthetic oil at Costco whenever it goes on sale for $3/qt.
I don't know about a lot of different oil filter manufacturers but a wix and Napa are the same and a good quality filter. Wix makes a lot of different brands and I think they are the best.
I use a wix filter that has a filter key that attaches to my ratchet. Never get oiled up all!
I bought a 12 pack of wix for my 8th gen, never had a problem and I’ve used 11 of them so far.
Had a conversation with a WIX rep and was told their best filter is done filtering around the 5000 mile range.
Big pass on WIX filters. I purchased two 57055XP from Rockauto. Both came without the gaskets attached and the wrong baseplate attached at the factory. There is a well-known defect where 20F instead of 20M baseplates were used. Made a warranty claim with MANN+HUMMEL many months ago. Basically, they ignore you or tell you to F.O.
