IIRC, this Hot Rod policy is for modified vehicles i.e. modified motors, installed supercharger/ turbos etc. Anything that was stock but been replaced by OEM/ aftermarket upgraded and go fast parts.

Everything we own now gets M1. The Mustang gets 10w30, the F150 and Jeep are 5w20, and the Acura has 0w20 running through it. M1 on sale at Costco is a pretty good deal.
Filters are Motorcraft for the Fords, a K&N element for the Jeep (less $ than OEM), and either Bosch or M1 for the Acura.

The filters i dont know
But there was a time when most of the ford dealerships
Were told to use Valvoline oil
Not really sure why
Motor craft was short on stock rumors
motorcraft and Valvoline are the same
Valvoline is the supplier

Filters: motorcraft and then wix
Oil: always oem weight, blend(on some cars only) or full synthetic, what ever brand is on sale.

I switched to havoline recently because it comes in a 6 quart container and is cheaper than motorcraft. No problems so far.
Oil filters, only motorcraft. I know wix is supposed to be as good as oem but I’ll stick to motorcraft.

Just purchased the Opal Frost GT Convertible this month. I believe that I will use Ford's 5W20 synthetic motor oil. Probably will stay with Ford filters.
Definitely synthetic 5w20, Definitely motorceaft filter!

Congrats on the new toy! If it's a '94 or' 95, they call for 10W30. Motorcraft filters are the best choice.

Never in 30+ years of changing oil have I seen *any* sticker on an oil filter. Always printed.

The decals look nothing like the painted version
You will notice it quick
Pull the filter out of the box before buying it
