First Round of Maintenance

I just bought a new to me '13 F150. I'm planning on doing some new purchase maintenance but need to know what the recommended products are. I come from the 7.3 section of the forum where we swear by Motocraft filters and specific oils. Does that hold true for the Ecoboost? Also, I know sparkplugs are a big deal, so I'll do those too. Are one brand better than another or should I stick with motocraft. And are E3 plugs still a thing?

Any other high ticket items I need to hit?

I've only been an EB owner since the beginning of the year, but this section is pretty quiet. I think the most action takes place above in the forum for the MY of your rig.

But, most folks seem to prefer FoMoCo products for everything but oil. Motor oil is dealer choice....

Use motorcraft sp534 plugs gapped to .030. Change every 30k miles. Also, drill the 1/16 weep hole in the intercooler.... this gets the condensate buildup out of the intercooler and you will not get a misfire or stutter on acceleration.
