Iirc, haven't you had start up rattle issues with multiple different filters on said vehicle? Seems I remember reading about several and perhaps some filters that came off early.
If Motorcraft works best in reducing rattle stick with it.
Sayjac, you are correct. I have had problems with multiple oil filters other than MC. There was one instance I had a slight rattle with a MC FL-400S. I changed it out with another 400S and never had problems with MC since.
The P1's were given to me from BITOG member MBS500, and I still thank him very much. The prior OCI P1 worked like a charm, no problems at all. I am just going to install a 400S and go from there.
Q? I will have to add about 3/4 of a qt. of oil after installing a new filter. My engine currently has PU 5W30. I can't find PU anywhere around my area. I have about 1.5 qts. of VWB 5W20 left from what MBS500 gave me. I was going to top off my oil level with that or buy a qt. of ST 5W30 synthetic oil. Opinions?
