If it was my Mustang, I would just stick with the Motorcraft filter.
Mobil 1 filters are great, but I would not spend 12 bucks on any oil filter.

I'm envious- the '05-'06 Mustang is the first car in many years that makes me smile every time I meet one on the road.
Trey, if that was my nice new Mustang I'd stick with the Motorcraft filters too.
The real question is, is a M-1 filter better than 3 or 4 Motorcrafts?
The answer is, Nope.
EDIT: Hey Trey, is your Mustang the V-6 or V-8? And just where is the oil filter that's so easy to get to?

I have a 1998 Mustang GT and I have always used Motorcraft filters but it is a pain getting a cup to slide onto the filter during the oil change with all those 'pleats' on it. I think next time I am going to use a Wix 51372 oil filter...

i usually just like matching the oil and filter. but in this case looks like i'm going with mobil 1 oil and a motorcraft filter.
i have the V8 and actually my brother changed my first oil change and said it was very easy to do. so i can't actually answer that question.

i would definitly stick with motorcraft oil filters especially since they made the out put holes on the flow tube much larger and numerous this is on the fl820s
"I'm envious- the '05-'06 Mustang is the first car in many years that makes me smile every time I meet one on the road. Trey, if that was my nice new Mustang I'd stick with the Motorcraft filters too." ... Agreed on both counts.
Purolator PureONE all the way!!
Always Motorcraft on my '98 GT. Next time I go through Wal-Mart I need to pick up a few... you never know if they're going to be there or not.
Motorcraft at $3.28 a filter at Wally's World vs. $10.99 For Mobil1 EP at the auto store. Hmmmmmm Uhhh Motorcraft Please.
Heck I even use MC for my MOPAR!

Hard to beat good ole Motorcraft oil also.
I use the Motorcraft filter and MC 5W20 in my O6 Mustang GT. It is a very easy vehicle to service. This was a plus the first time I changed it. The filter was on so tight from the factory that I destroyed it getting it off with a good pliers type filter wrench. I use Rhino ramps which work great.
