engine oil

Stay away from Fram filters!!!! I use Fleetguard, Mobil, or Baldwin ONLY. Fram Filters SUCK and will cost you big time. Dont skimp on Oil or Fuel filters. Use only Quality filters. A few extra bucks for quality filters is cheap insurance for your diesel. Or use what the Manufacturer Recommends.
Now with that said, I wouldn't use Fram in anything else if it was the only option, their spin on filters are junk. However, for this application, they're cartridge style filters. The wrong oil filters cause more damage to 6.0's than anything else. Poor running/starting, some even completely starve the engine of oil, because they don't sit in the oil filter housing correctly. If the oil filter comes with it's own cap, don't use it. You'll find the Fram and Motorcraft filters share the same P/N's on the base of the filter... they're the same thing, and the ONLY one I'd recommend.
