In my experience a leak is much more likely than burning oil...but I know Ford does not consider oil consumption a problem until it hits something on the order of 1 quart per 1000 miles.

The Wix filter is part number 57203. The quality appears good (Wix is one of the better aftermarket filter makers and is the supplier of filters to Ford in the Canadian market). This particular filter is also used on the 2.3L engines in the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 cars, so unlike the air filter at least we have some choices.
