I usually use either a Mobil 1 or Motorcraft filter, but I did pickup 12 Advance Auto Total Grip Filter for $.95 each. They are made by Purolator but they only have a nitrile anti-drainback valve, not a silcone one like Ford reccomends. I guess I will stick to the Motorcraft and keep the AAP for my Explorer.

I've used K&N oil filters in my Bullitt in the past, but just use the Motorcraft oil filters on both Mustangs now. They are inexpensive and readily available at Walmart, and I can buy them on the way home from work at 4am when all other autoparts stores are closed. I use M1 synthetic in the Bullitt, but I'm using Motorcraft semi-syn oil in the '08 GT during the warranty period since the factory calls for more frequent oil changes, and I'd just be throwing good M1 away if I changed it every 6 or 12 months, as I only put a few thousand miles a year on the Mustangs.
