I just put a motorcraft filter on mine. seems to work well. not sure how the rate compared to others, but for me they are free! So as long as they are a beter than average filter (Ford stands by them), then that is cool with me.

so basically you are returning the oil filter design of your newer motor to F vintage specs???HZJ60 Guy said:Bypass bypass bypass! That isnt an issue with a bypass filter set up. The oil travels through the normal engine oil filter every 40 seconds or so. Then it takes roughly five minutes to travel through the bypass filter.
CRUISERB1RD said:If you have the time, punch a hole or two into the filter, let drain overnight, filter comes off bone dry in the morning. For the price, can't go wrong with OEM filters. Also pick up a OEM filter wrench and extra long socket extension to make this a one hand tied behind back job.
Pluton said:Isn't the Frantz Oil Filter the one that used a roll of toilet paper as the filtering medium?
zcruiser said:Yeah, but the question now becomes... What kind of t.p. do you prefer?
And do you wad or roll when you wipe?
3puttcop said:Filters are not expensive, relatively speaking, changing oil in mornin' and just bought K&N for $11 bucks. K&N has good reputation so I spurged. Fram heavy duty is good also.
I also used the K&N....cost $11.....plus has a hex head on top so you can use a 1 inch wrench/socket(if you have standard) and unscrew it.
