I normally change my own oil and filter except sometimes in the winter I will take my stuff to the local change shop and pay labor. When I was in the local Ford dealer having the warranty recall on gas tank straps done I asked about oil. They do not use MC they use Mobil-1. I go to China mart and buy MC oil and filters. Jim.
Ford Dealer using Mobil-1? I bet headquarters would be on them like white on rice if they did that. Oil change hobbyists are down on Mobil one at the moment by the way, if you read the 'Bob is the oil guy' web site. Probably with some justification.

I am going to use a WIX filter # 57502. I will NOT be using anything other than that. Fram filters have to many horror stories out there to use. You can go to www.wixfilters.com
and look up what filter you need for any given model. The Ecoboost uses what is above.

Conoco Phillips makes Motocraft oils to Ford Specs. There are probably other manufactures too.

Fram ultra and tough guard are good filters. No one here mentioned that Motorcraft oil filter that fit certain Ford engines the filter element would tear. The Fram lower level filter is so/so but the ultra and tough gaurd are well built and have synthetic double layer filter element.
