Hi,

just wondering if you would suggest using a motorcraft filter with Mobil-1 15K synthetic oil. Thanks

You can use any filter you'd like with Mobil 1. Consensus with extended interval oils is to still change your filter as frequently as you would if you were using "normal" oil.

Yea its fine i use Motorcraft Oil Filters (usually 1.80 at local parts store) and Castrol Full Synthetic Oil 10w30.

I use Motorcraft filters with Mobil 1 5w30 with no problems.

I prefer to use high quality filter such as Mobil 1, K & N, or Amsoil.

That's what I use and change both every 5k.

your filter is what keeps your oil clean and free of contaminatns, which is the blood of your engine, spend a few dollars here and save in the long run.
