I have run delo 15-40w for 250,000 miles with changes every 3-4000. Walmart has motorcraft filters, they are good. 14 quarts is right on.

IN MY OPINION DO NOT BUY FRAM, as for oil, like all the guys above said.

Any one I ever use Luber-Finer products? I think they are made by champion labs.

luberfiner is a big name in heavy duty filters and seem pretty good. not sure who carries them though.

We have a farm supply store nearby that handles them & I think they were very reasonably priced. I'll have to take a closer look at price if I can be sure of the quality.

Just a heads up, I've seen fleetgaurd split at the seam where the side rolls into the top plate, might have been a bad run otherwise have not seen anything else go bad, and it was limited to only one style of filter, not ours.
