Off of a friends 2018 Ford F-250 extended cab truck. He did first oil change at 6k and i giess he forgot to buy a filter. He put PP 5w30 in that time. I put PP 5W20 in this time and a tough guard he supplied.












 
OMG- can't wait (

) to hear about the "metal on metal bypass" and the wavy media that performed fine but isn't liked by somebody. The filter did what was intended. End of story. Nice work, car51!
 
My brother in law just bought a left over 2017 Super Duty F250 6.2L for a great deal. I was wondering what oil and filter he should be getting. I agree with you that is a smallish filter for a 6.2.

Apparently not......

I had the same one on my 2015'F350 6.2 gasser
 
Not a big fan of the FL820S so I think I'll be using the Fram Ultra's im my 6.2L. Looks like it did the job though. Thanks for the C&P.

For the 6.2...
Yes in 2015. 5w30 is the spec.

Now my 2015 had 5w20 on the oil cap- maybe for 2016????

Hear you go Sir. Sometimes it's hard to find something very specific in the search. https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3992946/1
