    Oil filter for 2016 Ford F150 5.0L Coyote?

    There are so many options on rockauto.com. Put a order in for a few oil, engine air, cabin air, and wiper blades. Even with shipping when spread across 10-12 lightweight items saves you a bunch over automatically stores.

    Oil filter for 2016 Ford F150 5.0L Coyote?

    I reccomend Motorcraft FL500s My 2017 F150 5.0 with 177k was on FL500s until about 150k then switched to Carquest Red becuase of the RA closeout.

    first home purchase, with fiancee

    Be aware, You should check into how buy a home with gifted money. I think at a minimum your dad will have to sign some paperwork confirming the source of the money and that there is no obligation the buyer pays him back. This will come up at closing.

    2026 Forester hybrid towing

    I would just manage total combined weight. If you dont have any rear seat passengers and a fully load cabin you probably have some headroom that makes a 1500lb trailer manageable.

    KYB vs Bilstien Touring for a Subaru

    I put KYB on our Forester, they have been fine. I agree with prev post, price is a factor. Looks like $100 for OE, $60 for Bilstein, $50 for KYB. I would go Bilstein for $60.

    Are All Rotors the Same?

    Agree and on a Saturday or Sunday as a DIYer even worse. Its faster to install new ones and the marginal savings isnt worth it for me. Maybe if a new rotor was >$100...

    Ford Edge - 1 Deer - 1

    Sounds fixable, that is all bolt on parts. Just because it is deemed Financially a Total Loss does not mean it isnt fixable. I would have someone look at it and get an estimate to fix it.
