However, last oil change I decided to try Mobil syn oil for turbo diesels and ordered it online with Walmart store pickup. This was simply because I find that you can't rely on the oil sitting on the shelf when you happen to be in the store and I knew I'd have it waiting for me when I went to the store. Folks here can debate filters, just as they do oil brands, but I won't waste my time when I can get genuine Motorcraft filters delivered at a decent price.

The key difference here is the unlike debating the relative quality of different oil brands, or even filter filtration efficiencies, if you use non OEM filters and don't use the matching non OEM cap or use an OEM filter with a non OEM cap you WILL cause engine damage due to improper fit of the filter/cap.
