I really wish Motorcraft would bring out a full synthetic oil along with their synblend. That would be the oil I'd run in my truck if so. I still use the Motorcraft filter in mine, but have swapped to Mobil 1 full synthetic in it as well. Wal Mart sells the 5qt bottles for $21.00 all the time here in my area so I grab 2 and have a little extra.
not a bad idea. i know, I have always used the motorcraft filter, but I think I may step up to Mobil 1 in the truck as well
Take a look at Mobil1's filter as well. I run a Bosch filter on our Nissan and it gives the best filtration of the others offered for my wife's car. I may try the Mobil1 filter next. Supposedly it gives 98.9% or 99.9% coverage where Fram and other are at something like 94%. I also change my fuel filter every other oil change. Just something I feel helps out in the long run. I may be wasting my time, but it doesn't bother me changing it that often so I do it.
Would I be better off running full synthetic oil in my truck? I just use motorcraft right now. I have 132k on my truck
i run a Baldwin filter with motocraft oil and the next time i change my oil i was going to send a sample in and have it tested to see how much lift and all that good stuff it still has
Degoober you should only use motorcraft oil filters on your truck. They are design a certain way from maximum oil pressure at start up.
