5.0 guys, what Oil filter do you guys run?

[Tattoogod]

correct me if im wrong..but the filter is there to filter out metal and debris..if its black its just wore out or burnt..i didnt know a filter could keep oil looking the same.. when i changed my mobil 1 oil. with a fl1a filter after 3200 miles. the oil only looked alittle darker then new.. i dont beat the crap out of my car either though..and this is with the clock reading 154,000 miles.

My oil is dirty as hell b/c the woman does a lot of highway driving now, and with 4.10's it usually runs at 3k rpm's so its getting more crap sucked in and put through the motor, that and it was being run in vermont in march and april (salt season) so there was a lot of dust and sand in the air, along with pollen right now, hence the really dirty oil. Usually its pretty clean though, I have yet to change the oil with the k&n filter on there.

 

[Suspect]

another for k&n

 

[97vertstang]

mobil 1!!!!i runned the k&n but heard too many good things about mobil 1 and thats all i use!!!

 

[Matt94GT]

you ballers with your $15 oil filters, do u reuse them or change every oil change?

 

[94gtstang50]

lol, you change them every time. The new Mobil 1 filters are supposed to be better than K&N, don't know if they are though. We just got them in our store last week.

 

[Matt94GT]

Well I change mine all the time but if im paying 3x more id be tempted to change every 2nd time lol.

WIX WIX WIX.

x2, I'll never use anything else, ever.

 

[Dalamar]

filters are cheap compared to a worn engine.

I was running the K&N, but the Motorcraft filter tested better?

go figure.

 

[GREG@SN95]

fram...

use it on everything...

I know it works... so I use it

 

[Downshift]

Im just curious as to why everyone is hating on fram?

[Matt94GT]

show me... whats the BEST... in your opinion, oil filter?

 

[97vertstang]

fram= SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! every single auto mechanic or any automotive magazine, forum says not to use it, why ???just what matt said and also they dont have a drain back valve!!theyre crap!!! stay away.

 

[Matt94GT]

I dont got the link on this computer but theres a good site out there all about it.

 

[wytstang]

Do a search on bobistheoilguy.com plenty of info on frams and how the just suck. Fram used to be a good filter but they went cheap. Napa gold, Wix, Motorcraft, K&N (too pricy imo), Puraltor Pure One, and Adavance Auto parts filters have passed test and are made with qiality parts (which surprised the hell out of me lol)

 

[d_punch]

another one that uses Motorcraft

 

[BullitSN95]

Im always Running the Famous FL1A in my 150k Stang . And I use Valvoline HighMile 10w-30... Works good no knocks or ticks from my baby

 

[JerZeyStangz]

Yeah im not a fram fan because before i got the car it was using a fram w/ adapter and there was oil residue all around the filter....Im running motorcraft now and when i put it on there, it fit like a glove! Sometimes OEM is the best remedy no matter how you put it!
