I'm told the Napa filters are made by Wix. I use the Platinum with Motorcraft synthetic blend 5-20. When new, I was running Amsoil but the motor was using oil. I think it's too "skinny"

For you guys bagging on Fram- yea, I agree their base filters are likely junk. However their top end synthetic Xtra Guard filters are considered to one of the best filters available at any price. Things change, some dude cutting filters open 5 years ago isn't still gospel today. Don't believe me- go check out BITOG forums and catch up on what's on the market now.
Personally, I just run standard Ford brand filters and Supertech 5W-30 synthetic in everything. Oiling failures just aren't an issue on modern Ford engines. I can change my oil for less than $20. $100+ changes are a total waste of money.

I just read this and am confused by their statement that the pressure relief valve/bypass valve in the motorcraft filter doesn't allow unfiltered back into the engine. The whole point of the bypass is to maintain oil feed at the cost of contamination. There picture a few slides in even shows that.
Based on this I would be skeptical of the whole document and look for other research on the subject.
