I have a F-150 with the 5.0 and I use Wix XP for filter and Mobil 1 high performance 5w20. Purrs like a kitten even at 178k.
I use a Wix filter 57002.
I don't believe in trans flushes, nor do the experienced techs I talk to. They just push debris into places it's not supposed to be. Just do a drain and refill (with a new filter, if there's a replaceable filter). I've been doing a drain and refill every 30k on my Tacoma since I bought it with 76k miles - just rolled over 150k. Had my guy drop the pan and clean the screen and magnets on the last one and he said everything looked fantastic inside, no major debris, magnets were fairly clean.
I don't recommend Fram filters. I like Wix filters for budget and Quality.
For example, a Wix XP filters out 99% of material, at 35 microns, however the standard Wix filter can filter out 95% of material at 23 microns. That means the "cheap" Wix filter captures materials that are approximately 35% smaller than the "expensive" filter.
Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.
Use Wix xp filters, they are metal with a rubber gasket that doesn't come off
Wix all the way…has superior filtration vs all others, as tested by Project Farm on youtube
So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.
Wanna see what a Wix filter looks like after less than 10k and 1 year of driving. Notice how the paper media pulled away from the rubber support. Notice that the filter has been sucked in.
