Totally not a waste of the filter. I love those 5.0 Ford F-150's and have a 2014 4x4 with only 47,000 rounds. My previous 5.4 Ford Lariat 4x4 4 door had 215,000 miles on it and had regular oil changes every 3,000 miles and didn't use a drop of oil when I sold it. I would rather spend a little money on a filter and frequent oil changes than have to add oil because it wasn't changed very often. Thanks for the C&P and the detailed pictures. I like the 2016 Ford F-150's! Thanks!
