Castrol synthetic or Valvoline?

Funny you bring that up. If you look online, there's a guy that does independent filter testing cutting them open. In every case, and every part number, Motorcraft filters have more media than any other filter. They are also all still made in USA.

After fifty years of trying to figure out what oil is best, I came up with what I think is a good choice. Look to who has the most to use by thier choice of oils. Ford Motors can't afford to put anything but a very good oil in thier trucks. Thier reputation is on the line, and Billions of $$ is at stake! Make mine. Motorcraft blend, in the right wieght for my bearing clearances.
