What oil filter?
 
Are you running a Synthetic oil filter?
I have a 2004 and can't seem to find the correct oil filter.
Sometimes it says a filter will fit. Then another place says it won't.
What number filter are you running and does it say Synthetic on it?
Thanks

I've used the motorcraft ones, but also used many times the K&N oil filter. Never had a problem with either of them.

I've used the K&N many times over the years without a problem. Last fill, I went with a Mobil 1 (M1-210A) because I read an article on Consumer Reports about their quality compared to all the others and it was dubbed best. I didn't notice any difference, so I tried an Amsoil (EA011) the most recent fill and didn't notice a difference there either. I'll probably just go with the Motorcraft FL-820S this summer when I change the oil. I just want a consistent quality built filter and I feel like Amsoil, Mobil 1, and Motorcraft will meet that need compared to others out there.

unless you're doing an oil analysis after each change I don't think you're going to "see" a difference, especially not in a single change interval. It would be one of those things over the life of the vehicle wear may end up being accelerated or you have a filter failure and lose a motor.

I haven't been on here in a while, so catching up.
On my Mach1 (which is a built/forged/supercharged/E85 combo), I use either the Ford FL820S or the shorter Mobil 1 M1-210A.
Either will work just fine.
The Mobil 1 filter is slightly shorter and installs easier in my application as it clears my K-member support better than the FL820.
