Agree on the fram
I only use Motorcraft.For storage i just put a Canadian Tire mastercraft oil filter since the stang will not be running at all,and when spring comes,out it comes along with the there oil,and back goes in the Motorcraft oil filter,and some Castrol 5W20.Come to think about it,i change the oil in my stang way to much!!!In 6500 km's i have changed it 7 times .

its hard to take it off for me because I don't like hot oil pooring on my arms.

Then you would hate my job.

Those K&N filters are expensive as hell, screw that. Since i got my car i just hand tighten the filter when i put it on, then when i take it off i usually just barehand it and wipe up the rack with a rag. Its pretty clean under there.

I use a sheet of aluminum foil to keep oil off the car and channel the oil into my catch pan. It works perfect, every time

Whoever put that oil filter in there, YOU SUCK

Fram sux

Apparently, you did.

He's not the original owner.

I just got the car and I was doing the first oil change so I was not the one who installed the previous filter.

Here's a good one, now that the new oil is in the driver's side head is ticking

The trash talk about FRAM got me thinking.... so I did a quick search and came up with this filter by filter comparison if anyone is interested

I feel for you man. Have you gotten any sleep since you've bought this car??

Kilgore Trout · Nov 26, 2006

No, not really... Did I mention I am trying to teach the wife to drive a stick in it and she will need to make short trips in it during the day while I am at work with the Honda Civic?

That page is good and informative but has not been updated in over six years. The information is kinda old but there is some good info there...

I have a question ? How many quarts of oil do I use on my 02 mustang gt ? I used to put 5 quarts but this time I put 6 cause some where I read saying it need 6 quarts but even when it 6 quarts my dipstick don't show pull wtf ?

svt4643 · Nov 26, 2006

I just changed the oil last week. A trick I use is to coat the gasket of the filter with a thin film of oil, then hand tighten. The commercial oil change places don't do that and when you do decide to do it yourself, the filter is "baked" on there.

I don't think you have to worry so much unless you are afraid she is going to be doing burnouts or top speed runs...

Get a flexable strap oil filter wrench, it's easy with that

FalconGuy016 · Nov 26, 2006

I use a strap wrench, but it's an awkward 1/100th turn and I have to do it about 15 times before I can hand remove it.

Gay place. Oh well

i have a oil filter socket set from matco. basically they fit over the end of the filter and have a 3/8 adapter on them. they make a lot of fords really easy, as they seem to be the manufacturer that likes to hide their filters.

Just changed the oil...
