well I work for Purolator Prods. and we have the major contract for Motorcraft. I would use that because any OE filter we make gets the best of everything. We have to be qs-9000 certified to be a ford supplier and we are audited relentlessly. any nonconformances must be corrected or we could face loss of contract. I would choose any OE filter over an aftermarket just because of the quality level that is put into a filter. If you think a filter is just a filter wait till you get one that has metal stuff already added. There are a lot of components that go into an oil filter. Much of which is metal. And when you stamp metal parts you have to make sure the shavings go anywhere else but on that particular part. OE all the way Bro.. Motorcraft!!:director:

I use a K&N oil filter with Mobile 1 fully synthetic 0w 20 and it works great for me. It might be a little expensive for the filter but I only need one about 2 or 3 times a year so it doesnt really matter.
