This came off of my sons 2004 (new style) F-150 Lariat, 5322 Miles.
Oh, and NO tears!

I believe the problems for that particular filter come in much colder areas where the oil is much more viscous at much colder starting temperatures. Like starting at the low 20s and going colder than that.

Hope you have been doing good man. Take care of yourself.
 
Thanks BB!

We drained out MC Semi Synthetic 5W30 and went back with Amsoil Signatue Series 5W30.
Question; What's the best synthetic oil for cleaning the internal engine parts? I would have to say Pennzoil Platinum or M1? Opinions?
 
Amsoil SS would likely be just fine for cleaning internal parts... Though Pennzoil Platinum or Mobil 1or Valvoline Advanced full synthetic all would likely clean some over time.

Will you, or someone you trust, be cutting the filter open when you do the next OCI?

Probably not. It took months of pushing my relative to change his oil. He was supposed to change it in November, but kept postponing it. Then Covid happened. He's high-risk, so I didn't want to take him to a crowded shop. We both live in apartments so I can't change the oil myself.

He usually changes it at Jiffy Lube (bad I know), so I went with him to a less crowded Jiffy Lube in the area. It's not worth the hassle to ask for the filter back.

Also, I can't justify paying $60 for an oil filter cutter. I can buy ~6 oil filters with that money.

If it was my car, I'd keep the filter and cut it at some point. And I would be using a different filter.

Much of the design and construction is good … just think they need to step up the thickness or strength of the media … It's very easy to tear by hand when others are much tougher …
 
It had the potential to tear with that super wide pleat ... it just needed the right circumstances like bbhero mentioned.

Cut open by "someone you trust" ... seems flat earthing will never cease until the curvature of the earth is seen with own eyes, lol.

Thanks for the C&P.

Don't you know that the earth is flat? I read it on the internet.

I think it'll be Motorcraft Full Synthetic. Still waiting for it's re-arrival at Wally World. But it may only showcase there in 0w20.
