K&N and Mobil 1 are the same thing basically. They're produced by the same manufacturer to slightly varying specifications. Motorcraft is good too, it's one of the few synthetic media "standard" filters.

Motorcraft is all ive ran on the mustang and explorer.

You're right about the fram filters not holding oil. Ive taking some off hondas at work and they are bone dry. The honda filters drop oil like crazy once you loosen them.

I just run a Wix or FL1A since we always have them at work. We cut a Fram open and it is about half the filter material as a Motorcraft.
