Just do it, it's less than $15 and I'm pretty sure ford recommends it every 60k. Not a big hassle.

yea thats true

30k reccomended. I do mine 10-15 but I also only pay a couple bucks and just do it when it's on the lift for some oil. Few dollars for a filter more often is better than having to buy a pump.

Depends on how much you want to spend. MC and Fram would both be fine choices and economical. Just don't be "that guy" who spends $30+ on a filter that still needs to be replaced after X miles. Just my 2¢.

Yeah I couldn't remember if it was 60k or 30k. I payed $10 for one from auto zone and it started rusting pretty bad within a few months, definitely not something I want to rust apart, next time I will buy one from Napa, have had better luck with them. Also make sure you buy the right one, different ones for different years and If its flex fuel or not.

I am sure Fram and some of the off brand filters might work but having seen the insides and the build quality of these filters coupled with the fact you can find the Moto brand filters online for the same or sometimes cheaper I always go with Moto when I can. Purolator also makes nice filters. Just my 2 cents.
