Do you have data to back this up? I’m curious because I exclusively use Motorcraft oil.

Well, you've been around long enough to know better. You even started the thread with aaaaand go. I think you know that there's a lot of opinion on oil/wear related items and very little direct evidence. It's just too expensive to perform long term engine wear studies in a DOE style that encompasses the variables we all encounter. I expect the auto manufacturers are the only entities that study wear on actual engines. And they aren't handing the information out.
I have a feeling we're not even gonna get one serious comment on this. And please note, this is NOT an oil thread.
I personally use the Ford oil and filter and change them frequently. I don't trust a better oil or better filter to overcome the debris and contaminates that get into the engine. But, I'm not going to say I'm right and others are wrong. It's just the way that makes the most sense to me.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Amsoil filter has better components - more fabric, smaller openings, whatever compared to the Motorcraft. And the Amsoil filter probably costs more. I wouldn't blame some people for buying the Amsoil filter because we all love our Voodoo engines and want them to last.
Frankly, I don't think wear is going to be the typical failure mode for most Voodoo engines. Most people are going to keep them in the garage and polish them lovingly with a cloth. I drove mine today, but I haven't been driving it much lately with the cold and snow we've had here. But of course that's all debatable too. Honey badger may wear his out. Who knows?

Yeah I definitely wouldn't criticize anyone for buying a filter that might do a better job than the stocker. Is there any published info about the Amsoil you can post that compares its specs to the Motorcraft?

Yea Tom, like I just said, that was not my train of thought (at the time). I meant it as to discuss/debate the merits of having an option other than the Motorcraft, not a pissing contest about Amsoil specifically being garbage.
How bout I start over...
Hey guys...just letting you know Amsoil now has an oil filter for us. Ea15K43. Direct cross reference for the FL2062. Purely informational for anyone that cares or would like options when you shop for an oil filter!

I doubt that Bob The Oil Guy would have any comparisons on these oils but thats where I would start my search. There may be other sources as well. Some of these posts are pointless 
unless you can reference specific test data...so mostly we are going off manufacturer ratings that the oil meets or exceeds Ford specs.

I bought this filter a couple months ago just to check it out. Seems like a better constructed filter. Will probably use it once I put on another 10k on the car due to warranty concerns.
IMO it's just oil and a filter.. to echo everyone else. The OEM FL2062 is used in several other bland Ford vehicles and is nothing special. Probably splitting hairs in this day and age.
All of the bite your head off forum hullabaloo reminds me of the early 2003/04 Cobra days. A lot of snake oil, blue paint stripe, red/blue pill yadda yadda for the Cobra Head Tick and IRS Wheel hop issues. Those cars are almost all torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up in a shack down by the river these days lol. Just a new expensive car...

The Amsoil does look like a better built filterI bought this filter a couple months ago just to check it out. Seems like a better constructed filter. Will probably use it once I put on another 10k on the car due to warranty concerns.
