Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / August 2005mobil 1 filter
With my 02 Ranger 4l. I change the oil myself, buying the 5 qt. jug of mobil1 5/30 from wal-mart for around $20 and a motocraft filter from autozone for $3.50. Anyone use a mobil1 filter - around $10 - and any opinions? thanks, Mark S > With my 02 Ranger 4l.

Care Address fake until the SPAM goes away ;-} My Wal-Mart carries Motorcraft filters. Might save you a trip. CJB > With my 02 Ranger 4l.

Are you crazy??? Fram filters are rated the worst by just about everybody.

Oh please, you don't believe their ads, do you? Fram is about the worst you can buy. Just do a search with Google...

Yea, some people cut them open and make judgements based on their observations of construction and materials. They don't flow test or measure their filtering efficiency. Don't get me wrong, Fram is as cheaply made as they can make them, but they still perform well enough to meet manufacturer's specs. Why take the risk of major engine damage to save a couple bucks on a cheapest-ly-made oil filter? >>>Most major brand filter today are pretty good and if you go to Advance >>>Auto their brand is made by Fram so you are actually getting a Fram [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > made as they can make them, but they still perform well enough to meet > manufacturer's specs. I used a Mobil 1 filter in my 02 Superduty Triton V10 but I noticed I got a lot of valvetrain noise when starting cold. Maybe a different drainback valve design that didn't seal well. Switched to Motorcraft filter and no problems. Always ran 5w30 Mobil 1. I notice that Mobil 1 is now available in 5w20, which is what Ford recommends, I wonder if after using 5w30 for 60K miles, would it be OK to switch? I am thinking probably not... > With my 02 Ranger 4l. I change the oil myself, buying the 5 qt. jug of > mobil1 5/30 from wal-mart for around $20 and a motocraft filter from > autozone for $3.50.

If you have heard the noise with Mobil 1 filters, I'll stick with Motocraft. No more Motocraft filters at the local Wallys. >I used a Mobil 1 filter in my 02 Superduty Triton V10 but I noticed I got a >lot of valvetrain noise when starting cold.
