You tell me now?.
based on looks alone ?
Selecting something important based on that method might lead you to mechanical trouble or maybe even into divorce court.
Which oil filter would you use on your 5.0/3.5 based on looks alone ?

No more warm idle tic or knock for this 5.0
I disagree
How long have you owned this F150, and how many oil & filter changes have you done?
I already assume that would be the case. However, you have no idea what you’re talking about here and you’ve already stated that in this thread.
I have owned this truck for two years, it had 50.000 kilometers on it when I bought it and was in mint condition, and serviced at a local ford dealership from the previous 1 owner, I have preformed 5 complete oil changes with multiple different oil filters.
Maybe so, but I do know that metal to metal metallic noises are not good, and with a simple oil filter test using different makes of oil filters leading to no metal to metal metallic noises is good
I have a 2012 f150 5.0 coyote.
I discovered that it's warm idle tick was an exhaust leak at the y-pipe.
Also, the cold start rattle was fixed by switching to 10w-30.
I've used Motorcraft, Mobile 1, and Fram oil filters. None of them made any difference for anything.

I have not used a mobil 1 oil filter, but I have used fram xg and both motorcraft and they all made the tic noise, albeit the fram xg was less noise, the motorcrafts are noisey on my 5.0, I think it might have something to do with the filter element metal core ? But the motorcraft fl2121b12 has a plastic core, both wix xp and napa platinum have a metal core with holes not louvers
No issues with mine other then that warm idle tic and knock which I have resolved, that tic and knock did not effect performance just that noise bothered me.
2015 Mustang with 5.0 approx 65000 miles , always use the fl500s i have never witnessed the tic on my engine .
this engine as been trouble free and the only noise you hear is the pulse of the injectors.
This has been one of the best cars i have owned things replaced Battery, wiper blades ,tires thats it !
And i use 5w30.

There's something else going on with your engine. The dP difference across any oil filters at hot idle is probably 1-2 psi or less. Any healthy oil pump won't even notice the difference, and the same oil volume will going to the engine at idle.
What happens when you rev the engine up to say 2000 - 2500 RPM in neutral?
And when was the first time you ever heard this ticking at idle? Did it ever show up right after an oil change?
The 5.0 in my 21 Mustang GT is running strong and healthy at 25k miles. It usually has the tick right after an oil change but goes away after about 500 miles. All I’ve used is FL500S oil filters. Tried several different brands of oil, some quieter than others but nothing crazy. It’s quietest on PP 5W30 so I may stick with that going forward. Going to try a Fram Ultra 10575 at the next OCI. Doubt it’ll keep the Coyote from ticking, but as I’ve previously stated the tick doesn’t bother me at all.
Use the taller 57045XP in my GM 2.0T and GM 3.6.
Only tic is at warm idle, all other rpm range is quite, I noticed the tic shortly after I purchased the truck, noticed it did not have a motorcraft oil filter on it, I did a oil change using 5w20 and motorcraft oil filter, it was shortly after that I noticed that tic/ light knock, did a lot of research regarding that tic and noticed that most complaining about the tic were using motorcraft oil filters and so began my filter testing, using many different oil filters, not just researching ford 3.5 and 5.0 but also hemis and ls or 5.3 /6.0 reporting hemi tic 5.3 piston slapped so on, I forget which forum it was recently, but this person had pics of current wix 57045xp compared to the wix 57502xp and how one was taller then the other, so I spun on the 57045xp
Should of changed oil filter
