My 99Gt uses ~6qts of oil.
Does anyone have any rating for Motorcraft oil filters ?

I don`t have a rating for Motorcraft. I just bought one o/f for my first oil change 3k and 5W30 Motorcraft synthetic blend oil. I figure they will do fine.

My 97GT takes 6 quarts as well. I've got an oil change coming up and looking forward to using the best oil and filter I can.

Thanks for the info...

I dont know how good of idea it is on my part, but when i change my '98 GT's oil, i replace my filter with a John Deere brand filter. I bought a ton of them on a farm sale, and they are the same size, and i havnt had any problem with them.

I agree...I've never had one oil related problem after using Fram filters. I have also read the same bad news about every motorcycle oil filter. But I have never had any oil related issues with any filter or oil. I do agree there are specific use filters and I'm sure that if Fram was soooo bad they would be out of business by now or they would be on the blue light special table at Wal Mart. So....I'm sure there are pros and cons to everthing....I use Fram.

I run ROYAL PURPLE, oil and transmission fluid, and K&N filters on everything I own.. its a little more expensive but well worth the money!!
