I will change the filter.
,
About the converters, called ford. 80,050 miles.. yes only 50 miles out of warranty.
They refused to make exception. They did confirm its both..
They are fixing some intake manifold valves that open and close. Those were covered. They keep insisting that the banging noise is the converters and not the engine.. that the pressure is making something inside rattle.. does that make sense?
do the 5.4 fit?

hmm found oem converters for 700 bux.. direct fit . ima have to do that ad replace o2 sensors while im at it. Im still confused why the converters would "knock" and yes I will replace the oil filter.
Ive always wondered why I had crappy gas mileage and o2 sensor codes.... I guess the cats died...
sounds exactly like this..

I assumed it was a blown engine since it was knocking.. Took it to the dealer and they checked it. Its both converters. They are broken internally. I can drive it with a banging noise without any damage.
Any specific universal ones that I can get? The truck has 3 o2 sensors right? or two? Thats probably the route I need to go.
My mileage is 80,055 ... yes I went over by 55 miles and ford refused to modify it.. I called them and no resolution.
Stock ones are high flow so I guess anything will work fas long as its universal?

just need to make sure the diameter is correct for the exhaust piping you have on your truck. stock is 2.5 " i think. could be wrong its been a while since i had my 2010 4.6 f150.
the two downstream from the cats are the ones throwing your check engine light code. they check to see that the cats are working and since yours are not they will continue to show a fault.
