FYI on oil filters...
I know Motorcraft is the recommended oil filter for our trucks, but I want to share some information I got this weekend.
I picked up the stuff to change the oil in my wife's van, and thanks to the forum, I knew not to use Fram anymore on ANYTHING. I started looking through the parts store's computer, and I found that the Bosch oil filters have a silicone anti-drainback valve instead of cardboard.
I'm not endorsing one or the other, just presenting the info to others that worry about the cheap quality oil filters.

I've never had any issues with Fram, been using their oil filter for years. But the idea of a silicone drainback valve (at a cost comparable to the Fram) sounds pretty good. Thanks for the heads up!
