OK. I would like to use a larger oil filter on my 2013 Ford Focus. Before anyone starts with “do you think you are smarter than the Ford engineers”, let me just say that I can sight numerous examples where factory engineers have been dead wrong. Anyway, I just want to use a filter with more...

I change my oil at the factory specified interval of 5000 miles. My 2013 Ford Focus engine has 15000 miles on it. I have been using Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30 in five quart jugs but it is now nearly impossible to find in my area (Lafayette, LA). Wal-Mart used to carry it, but doesn’t anymore in my...

OK guys. You have convinced me to stay with the stock size filter. Do you consider the Mobil 1 -102 a good filter to use or is there a better filter recommendation? Thanks for all the input, kajunman

Green Focus, The depth is a lot more. It is 5.178 in depth. kajunman

How many miles do you put on your filter? Its highly likely you are not surpassing the capacity of a stock filter, so why bother? Not to mention issues with voiding your warranty by using non-spec'd parts. Have you seen the filter . It is the same small one used on my Briggs and Stratton lawn...

I wanted to increase the filter size on my 2013 Ford Focus. I looked at the Mobil 1 M1-301 being that the gasket size was a match to the standard filter which is an M-102. But because of depth, I tried the M1-204. I know the gasket OD and ID is a little different. But I measured the filter pad...

So you are a "meets requirements" kind of guy rather than "exceeds requirements"? No, definitely exceeds requirements. 2013 Ford Focus using 5W-30 Ultra changed at 5000 miles per Ford spec. kajunman

Nick1994, Funny

Between Mobil 1, NAPA Platinum, Royal Purple and K&N, who do you think has the best oil filter construction? Thanks in advance, kajunman

Crazyoildude when you live on a fixed income you try to save money where you can and spend it where you can’t. CATHERHAM the oil is for a 2013 Ford Focus SE. Ken 2 the Ford dealer said it ships with Motorcraft semi synthetic and they said not to use straight dino oil in it. Also because there is...

I have to change the brand of oil I have been using. My sources for 5W-30 oil brands I have been using are disappearing from the market place in my area and on the internet. I was using Pennzoil Ultra (Wal-Mart), Kendall GT-1 with liquid titanium (Amazon). I would like to know in 5W-30 weights...

A gentleman on bobs is the oil guy led me to several larger capacity filters. Several exist. The one I will use is K&N #HP 2009. It is 3 iches in diameter and 5 inches deep. Also recommended was NAPA 1516 and Royal Purple 30 and RP 10. Thanks, kajunman

Thanks EricF for the info. Thanks again, kajunman

Can anyone give me part numbers for a 2013 Focus SE oil filter that would have a greater capacity than the stock filter recommendation? I am interested in Royal Purple, K&N and NAPA Platinum part numbers. The filter can be longer and bigger in circumference (looking at it I would say twice as...
