Oil filter Bosch or OEM FORD

I buy Bosch filters through Rock Auto and oil during the Fleet Farm Black Friday rebate sale so my oil changes cost less than $10.

The Euro oil (which I seriously doubt Valvoline used) is about $30 for a 5q jug + $10 for an extra quart, and a Bosch filter about $15.

I used 30W Ford Super Premium Motor Oil and a Ford FL-1A filter, and I changed the oil and filter, and greased every component myself, including the U-joints every 3,000 miles where necessary. I asked my Uncle who manufactured this oil, and he didn\u2019t know, UNTIL one day, he received a case of oil Labeled as Exon Uniflo, one of the highest rated brands at the time. It was obvious, at least to me, that Ford Super Premium engine oil and Exon Uniflo were one and the same. I sold the car 5 years later with almost 98,000 miles on it, and absolutely no engine problems.

Last year i bought a car (Ford Focus) that had been garaged for 4 years.

Changed oil and filter as a precaution.

In my Hybrid, I use the OLM for recommended changes, except for the initial break-in oil/filter change. I did that one at 4k, which was about 2k of gasoline engine miles. OEM filter was tiny and I wanted to get it replaced.

I tried to buy a filter, a bosch is a decent choice, but I wasn't able to find it, or I should import it for 100 sar ( which is expensive, most filter sold for 20 to 50 sar where I live - saudi arabia -)

Make sure to change the drain plug crush washer if you don't do at the dealer and get good quality filters (Bosch, Mann)

1995 ford crown Vic, you have to turn the wheels to remove the filter.

99-03 Ranger with a 3.0, filter above the start and the number of guys I seen set one on fire by arcing the starter with filter pliers is more than 6…

Raise you a 3.0 ford taurus, which dumped all of the dirty oil right onto the starter.
