Canton Mecca Oilfilter

[DirtNasty]

Some pics of the filter (going to install it next oil change). I plan on doing some blackstone oil tests the next 6 or so oil changes so we shall see what the results look like in this thread. Going to be running AMSOIL oil starting this next change as well (from motorcraft).







Pics of the filter element.

Interested in seeing what you find!

Also, mind getting a video of your oil change and posting it in the DIY thread? Would be much appreciated...

Look forward to the results.
Been at the back of my mind for DIY oil changes.

Is this unit for the 6.2 or the 5.4.

6.2, if the thread pitch is the same it should work for the 5.4 as well. You can always email/call canton mecca if you have that information.

I prob wont be doing my own oil change, dont have the recycle/recovery equipment nor the a good place to take it into.

a hole in the back yard usually works

I've had 2 7.3L diesels at one time for over 10 years. I have 2 5 gallon jugs. Autozone and Advance Auto Parts in Florida will take 5 gallons to recycle per day. I buy my filters there...Mobil 1 M1-601.......but I got the Delo or Rotella at Wally World. My local landfill takes 10 gallons of oil or coolant per visit free and will recycle the oil filters as well. I am no "greenie", but disposing of oil or antifreeze in a hole in the ground is not necessary. Talk to your auto parts shops or call your county offices and I am sure there is a place for that used oil.

You can go to this website and find out nearby locations to dispose of all kinds of stuff. Earth911.com - Find Recycling Centers and Learn How To Recycle

Amazing what you can find on the ol' Interweb. Lol.

I typically take my used oil and filters to Walmart since it's convenient.

Got it all installed today with some amsoil oil.

Sending off the 5k motocraft oil to blackstone for analysis.

I will post the follow up oil analysis in this thread (or start a new one).

Mine is for the 6.2 but if the thread pitch/size is the same it will work for either motor.
