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...

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...

I use Penzoil Ultra 10W-30 in my Focus after break in. How does it compare to Royal Purple 10W-30? Thanks in advance, kajunman

I have been Penzoil Ultra 10w-30 in my 201 Susuki SX-4. How does the Ultra compare to Castrol Edge 10W-30? Thanks, kajunman

The oil filter in my 2006 Optima V6 is smaller than my lawn tractor’s filter. I have tried without success to find to a larger (longer) filter. I even tried calling K&N with no success. Fram used to have a book with filter dimensions in it (height, diameter, gasket size and the thread size). I...
