Perfered Filter in a 5r55e Transmission

[ptf18]

What is the perfered manufacture of the 5R55e Transmission Filter you all are using?

I lean toward Motorcraft products but used a WIX filter during my last (1st) Fluid change.

Although a new all-rubber gasket came with the filter kit I purchased and used a FORD rubberized cork gasket as it had these tiny spacers built into it that I understand prevents the gasket from being crushed out.

I was going to order another filter for a another 5R55E transmission and if I go with a Motoorcraft filter I need to know if it comes with both the gasket, filter and 2 orings? Or just the filter and one needs to order the other items seperately.

Thanks

Interesting thread, your call. Regarding oil filters, FRAM is a four letter word here.

Just go with pro-king, it comes with a good rubber gasket and the o rings.
