Default 1st oil change.....

I just did my first oil change and I was curious , what color is a Motorcraft oil filter? The filter I removed was white and had no writing on it.

I would recommend the Motorcraft filter for your future oil changes.

Amsoil, WIX... I prefer the Amsoil for the Stang. Just my preference. Oh, AND it's black. Looks better than the white.
