oil filter

[slammedi'am]

just seeing what everyone uses.got to change oil in my truck next week.i always use motorcraft on all my other rides i had

If you want the best, two companies come to mind immediately: Amsoil or Mobil1. Amsoil is the absolute best synthetic oil you can buy, bar none. It runs the engine 8-10 degrees cooler the Mobil1 and the engine wear is less.

i run AMSOIL in everything I own... besides the lawn mower lol... along with a amsoil oil filter.... and AMOSIL is the only motor oil I know that guarntees 12000 kms between intervals for oil changes... and if u blow ur engine with in the 12000kms and it can be traced back to from the oil breaking down... AMSOIL will fully cover all work and damage....

napa gold filter and royal purple oil.

Royal Purple and a K&N filter here

 

[DREX01AZ]

Id go with either a K&N, mobil or fram tough guard oil filter. Theyre all about 9 bucks, but worth it if youre putting royal purple in.

Napa Gold/Wix filter & Mobil1

 

[Harley#356]

mobile 1 filters only! used to run motorcraft until I looked at the motorcraft oil seal next to the mobile 1 oil seal. 100x's more secure, twice or three times as thick, and no way for it to blow out as easily as a motorcraft filter seal could blow out

question

is mobil 5 w20 safe to run?

 

[Black Molly]

I think 5w-20 is what is recommended by factory

 

[slammedi'am]

motorcraft filter.....thin rubber o-ring, held in by a measly 6 tiny crimps, and will pull right out if you tug on it, and usually sticks to the oil filter flange when you remove an old one...

mobile 1 filter....thick rubber o-ring, held in by a constant crimp around the entire perimeter, won't pull out if you tug on it, and rarely ever will stick to the oil filter flange when you remove an old one.

the last thing I want to happen at 5800 RPM's on a WOT blast and 80 lbs of oil pressure is to blow out the cheapie motorcraft oil seal right in front of the rear drivers tire. Mobile 1 it is!

I use Motorcraft and royal purple.. It will not make a difference if you have a big seal or a small seal.if the seal seals it is going its job. The seals can come off all filters when removing it.

 

[castellscl]

Thought that's why you rub oil all over it before tightening it down?

 

[slammedi'am]

i always wipe mine off w/arag and pet oil on the seal before i put them on.where i work i do it all day long.i work for a get ready shop for a used car lot and fram has been the worse(imo)about the seals coming off.alot of people over tighten the filters too.

Fram blows
I run a Wix filter, also known as a Napa gold or a Carquest is wix also.
Mobil is good also.
