you wouldnt belive how many stang 5.0's came into the oil shop i work in for oil changes and which we use pennz products...they all bring their own filters which 75% of the time are k&n oil filters and use rotella 15/40 oil....they said its cool for the summer and they use it because of the detergents in it...because one guy explained that he was a diesel mechanic and he said when he tears a diesel motor apart its clean...so he said as long as you dont run cats then its perfectly fine

1985stang dont take my word for it though, there is a site that shows all the major manufacturers filters cut apart and you can see the craptastic quality of the components.

LOL,....didn't think much about the oil filter too...**** i was about to put a bosch filter in mine just cause my dad has one laying around too... i guess Fram aint building great things any more....mybe i should switch to motocraft or one of the Purolator ones...this is good information since i need to take my car for an oil chang later this week...im also giving it a tune up so i guess i'll need to do research about spark plugs and cables too.

im using motorcraft filters from here on out, purolator and wix also seem to be pretty good.
as for wires, i know the local autozone carries the cheapys, the mid grades, and the boschs. well i can tell you i bought midgrades once and was watching the spark arc thru the silicon boot and onto my header. i took em back and bought the cheapest set they had and didnt have that problem. that being said, i usally use the bosch wires for any normal applicactions. for you car, a good wire for cheap is the accel 8mm, and to get better your getting into the accel 8.8 / msd 8.5 (which is what im using this next go round) / ford racing wires / taylors / etc.
i actually believe taylors are among the best you can buy.
