What brand do you use? Pros? Cons?

NUKEPLANT · Oct 30, 2004

I use motorcraft.

Jester67 · Oct 30, 2004

On the 67 I use a Wix

golf4283 · Oct 30, 2004

I would go with a motorcraft. I think K&N just released "high perforamance" oil filters but I have no idea if theyre good or not.

Motorcraft FL1A

for my 351C

66stangmeister · Oct 30, 2004

Since I've gotten my car, I've used FRAM TG8A. Been fine to me. My dad always uses FRAM so there ya go. lol

I use Purolator filters. Stay away from Fram, just cut one open and look at the cardboard end caps and center tube, that was enough for me. Motorocraft are a private label filter, some one else makes them under contract and paints them with the Motorcraft logo.

The other filter mentioned above is Wix, also a good brand. I have not heard to much about the K&N filters but, they are pricey.

Here is a sort of highjack, I hope nobody has invested in a Filter Magnet. Some idiot showed up at my shop trying to sell me on these things, what a joke. He told me that he had put one on his car over 3000 miles ago, and if I wanted I could remove that filter and cut it open to see the results. Well, I agreed to his challange. After cutting open the old oil filter we discovered absolutely no evidence of anything captured by the magnet. So, keep your $60 these things are not worth the money.

Wix.

Here's why I won't use Fram anymore.

I read this and stopped using Fram, too. K&N seem to pricey at $10 a pop. I was wondering what others used. .. . .

well jeez, good thing you asked this question Paul. I was about to put a Fram on mine, because thats what my dad bought for me.

According to that site tho, the TG8A is alright, but I'm considering buying a different one instead of using that Fram now lol. Thanks for the heads up everyone

I was in the same boat. I used Frams on all of my cars until I read this. I currently use the Motorcraft, but I'm always looking for better. . .

66stangmeister · Oct 30, 2004

I might try that WIX. too bad there's no study on the K&N's.

btw, what city in louisiana you in? i'm outside Lafayette.

TOM B · Oct 30, 2004

Hammond, here. Wix is one that I was leaning towards. . . .

brianj5600 · Oct 30, 2004

I use frams on my s10 p/u with 200k on it. Change the oil every 9 to 12k. it uses no oil and other than batteries and alternators it has needed nothing. Oil is way more important (Mobil 1). I use pure one filters now, but not because I have any complaints with frams.

2nd Mustang · Oct 31, 2004

I use K&N or Mobil One oil filters. They are expensive, but my unscientific test told me that after 3 month with Fram, the oil smelled burnt, whereas with either K&N or Mobil One, the oil had no trace of a burnt smell after 5 months using the same brand of oil at the same mileage and driving conditions. I also added a magnet to the outside of the filter to help trap metal dust.

motorcraft
