So what oil filter do you say I use??

Use Motorcraft oil filters or a Purolator filter. Both are good.

If the car is over 1500-3000 miles, any synthetic with Ford Motorcraft FL820S filter will be just fine. Like CajunSix said, let your factory oil go to a good 3000 before changing if you plan to go with Royal Purple or Mobil 1 because those oils reduce friction so much that they don't allow your piston rings to seat properly during break in. I was told the same thing from my Service Manager. I have almost 28k on the odemeter on my '02 GT Vert and after 3000 miles I've been using the Motorcraft Oil Filter FL820S and Mobil 1 5w30 Full Synthetic. No problems, and I change my oil every 4000 miles.
