Oil Filters
What do you guys use? I have been using the standard Motorcraft since I got my Ranger back in May. After reading this Opinions and Recommendations - Oil Filters Revealed - MiniMopar Resources
I might buy different now.
I use Motorcraft semi-blend 5w30 oil, as well...
Also, with 87K on it, is it a good idea to change over to Mobil1?

Almost exclusively Fram filters, although I've seen in other posts that some of the others don't like them. I've personally never had any problems with using them in the 20+ years that I've been using them. I once bought a Fram filter from Walmart though and when I was changing the oil, someone had apparently switched out the Fram filter for one of the generic Walmart filters, so now every time I buy a filter, I always check the box contents.
I've heard nothing but good about the synthetic oils, and if you don't mind the extra expense, they definitely have their advantages including longer intervals between changes, better cold and hot-weather performance, better cleaning, etc.

Yeah, I've used them all and it's hard to beat the quality of a good motorcraft oil filter, Fram is the one with the bad PR as of late. There was articles that came out about how poorly fram filtered oil and what not, don't remember all the details now. It siure made fram sound bad. I've used mobil 1 for years, it's a great synthetic oil. In my opinion it's never to late to switch to mobil 1.
