Brand isn't as critical as type and weight. Synthetic or simi-synthetic is best in most modern engines but is especialy desirable in the 6.0 because it shears oil more than most. There are also a bunch of filters on the market(the majority actually)that don't work well. Has to do with fit rather than filteration. Best information I can find says noone will pay Ford and Racor what they want for patents. Fram made the filter under patent until recently then qiit. Long story short,buy Motorcraft or buy one then clean it up after use and keep it for comparison if you buy another brand. Some mfgrs sell caps to fit their filter but not Motorcraft nor other competiors. Ditto on fuel filters. It's a d*@m mess that has cost owners a bundle of money.
