I moved from the usual Motorcraft to a Ford Performance Racing filter. Didn't notice a huge difference, just a very slight increase in oil pressure.
Apparently it holds oil more efficiently to protect on Startup, so naturally I was a sucker and paid 29 Dollars for it

No Motorcraft only makes for Ford, some filters cross over to other makes though.

most every filter crosses over, but they have toyota filters too, which there are no obvious crossovers

The pic of you flipping off fram is an instant classic!
I use K&N filter with Royal Purple myself. For the way we drive our cars, we should put nothing but the best in them.
