Who do you recommend for OEM online Ford Parts?

Gonna need to do the first oil change in my new Maverick hybrid soon. I'm at about 1200 miles, want to hit it early.  Would like to stick with Ford OEM filters through the warranty period, since I'm not paying the dealer to do them.  Don't want to buy on the Jungle or other sites were I'm likely to get cheap knockoffs. I'd like to get a few and not have to deal with ordering 1 at a time and paying as much for shipping as the filter costs.  Also, what is the drain plug washer like on these? Copper crush washer, fiber washer, recommended replacement interval?

Who do y'all recommend for reasonably priced OEM Ford parts online?

Thanks,

Steve

You can use any similar filter or oil, just change it and keep receipts. They can't deny a claim because you didn't use oe stuff. 
Pan drain should be a plastic quick turn deal. Just don't break it.

Edit- I didn't change the oil in the explorer or mustang until like 8k?

I realize I can use any oil or filter that meets their specs. Just figure using an OEM filter from an OEM supplier would be better if an issue arose considering the frequency of cheap fakes. 
Seems like it is easier to show oil from a major manufacturer meets spec than filters these days.

I've bought from fordpartsgiant in the past and had good luck.

To support Ranger: Ford does not make filters. OEM is whoever has the contract to put motorcraft stickers on. 
all my filter info is 15 years old, so can't make a brand name recommendation, but Baldwin is never a bad choice. 
Wix used to be best oil filter, but I've heard they have started to slip some. Not really sure. 

Ditto on fordpartsgiant

Triple on fordpartsgiant. 

I've changed the oil 3 times on my Maverick hybrid so far. Walmart carries Motorcraft filters. I run a Motorcraft FL400S filter instead of the tiny FL910S for a little bit more oil capacity.

I use Mobile 1 Extended Performance 0W-20 synthetic oil, also purchased at Walmart. The 2.5L in the hybrid takes 6 quarts.

The drain plug has a rubber o-ring so no copper washers to worry about.

Easy peasy 

OEM Motorcraft from a Brick and Mortar (Walmart on the shelf, Advance, Autozone) are going to be fine.  I wouldn't go through the hassle of Ford Parts Giant just for filters.  You can also try the dealer, they will often meet or beat online dealer price if you ask nice, and on something like a filter they should at least be able to give you Jobber Rate if you ask for it.  I have always been able to get a discount just by asking on Ford parts bought over the counter at local dealers.  

Amazon and Walmart On-Line are likely knockoffs.  

Just bought a bunch of Ford Powerstroke filters from Advance, they were OEM, in stock, and cheaper than anyone else especially with their coupons.  

Pretty sure Rockauto sells Motorcraft parts and they'll be cheaper there than pretty much anywhere. But otherwise Tascaparts.com is quite good for OEM Ford parts as well. 

Thanks for the recommendations everyone.
I was surprised, but FordPartsGiant was $12 cheaper (or 1 filter) for 4 including tax & shipping, than any of the flaps before tax.

Wally World looks to be the cheapest option though.

Gonna check my local dealer tomorrow, even though they are the stereotypical small town dealer with limited hours and crappy condescending attitudes.  Not expecting much...

I've bought Motorcraft from RockAuto for really good prices. Also found them on Summit to help kick an order over the threshold for free shipping. A Motorcraft filter for my wife's Honda? Sure, why not?
