What brand of oil filter do you use on your SVO?

[Eyelawdoc]

This started out as a hijacked thread about a day ago and I thought I'd make it legit. So, what brand of oil filter do all of you run on your SVO's?

I, myself always use genuine Motorcraft FL 300's on all my Turbofords. Good filter and I get em at Walmart for less than $3.00 each!

Filter?

Have a Fram now & 'was' thinking about going to a K&N....Dayumnn they're cheap at Walmart.....

[8T6 SVO]

I found a Mobil 1 filter at K-mart. Haven't used it yet, but it appears heavier that a regular Ford oil filter.

OilFilter!

I just changed my oil and used the K&N filter for the first time works good has that check valve so oil won't run back into motor so now the turbo gets oil quick. But I guess that the Motorcraft also has that too! I have heard from test that the Motorcraft exceeds the Fram filter by far for collecting particles. I run Castroil GTX 10w-30w since rebuild no problems yet cross my fingers! I really should have went the other. my 2 cents !

Since I sort of Hijacked the thread the other day.

I am running the fram sure grip. It makes me happy

But I will be going over to a filter that has the valve in it. I wasnt aware of such a thing. Hey you learn something every day. I am affraid to see what is inside a good filter because I cut every filter open after use to see if there is any supprises inside. I think I saw jimmy hoffa's fingers in the last filter after I replaced the head (yuck).

Used a K&N on my last oil change. It isn't a big deal on this car, but on my previous vehicles that 1" nut can make things alot easer if the filter is in a hard to reach location. But $9 for an oil filter is insane...I usually reach for the Motorcraft filter if it is in stock.

Motorcraft all the way! Inexpensive and just looks right under the hood.

Ditto to Motorcraft

Motorcraft.

All filters have to have a check valve. The problem is that many have a cheap design of a valve that will leak and allow the oil to drain out. Not to mention the oil bypassing the filter media.

Started out using Motorcraft. Changed to Fram for about a year. Back to Motorcraft now to keep it original / correct.

MotorCraft all the way.

As for Fram filters all I'm going to say is get a MotorCraft filter and a Fram filter and cut them open and see whats inside of them
