+1. If you bring a Ford into the dealer with a start-up noise complaint the first thing they will look at is the oil filter brand. If it isn't a Motorcraft they will assume that's the problem. Motorcrafts seem to be great filters and are available at WalMart at a reasonable price. Why not just use them?
If I decided to lose my manhood and took it to the dealership, of course that is what they would say. But as we all well know, those "technicians"
are not the end all be all of mechanical aptitude. I think it is safe to say by this point we know the ticking noise is the vehicles response to the filter, the only question left is, will it stop or should it be changed?
I dont blame RP at all. Royal Purple and Fram Ultra, heck even the Pureones I have used on this vehicle are not even in the same weight class as Motorcraft filters. It just turns out that I am one of the lucky few who owns a picky vehicle I guess.
About to go start it. If its going to be replaced it better be done quick. Houston Texans start their super bowl run today
. Lets see what happens!
