    Auto Extra vs Wix findings

    would be similar to a napa proselect or carquest red filter in oil filter terms. Both made by wix but their bottom "jobber" "fleet" "quick lube" filters. Mainly for places that can change fluids and filters for cheap or in bulk or both.

    2016 Ford XLT 3.5 ecoboost 20 year plan which oil?

    oil doesn't matter as long as it meets specs. I'd run atleast a 5w30. Back in the day they said only run 5w20 in the 3v gas engines. Well well, now days the oil pump leaking at highway rpms so many dead engines the best ford techs say to run 5w30.

    Economic daily driver: under $1000

    In florida, especially south florida you can find all kinds of low mileage cars for cheap. My absolute favorite the towncar/crown vic/grand marqs. But 30+ mpg would have to be a saturn S series. That or a buick lesabre 3800 can get 30 mpg on the highway. 01-05.

    $7500-6k or less. Paint would probably cost you about $1k to be properly fixed. Don't see any problems other than that.
