Regarding the plug being rough coming out in the beginning, don’t really worry about it. I work on cars and doing oil changes, over half of all fords from this era just don’t want the plug to come out. I’ve never seen that be a culprit of a leak but it just makes a mess when you take it out since oil starts to drain as soon as it’s remotely loose

But my 2017 2.0 turbocharged Escape takes 10w30. For heat reason's. So I went to full Synthetic oil on the Escape and use the Motorcraft blend on my Taurus 3.0 it's 16 years old. Still runs like a top and never uses any oil between oil changes. 175,000 going for 200,000 miles next. 3 sets of tires, 3 sets of brakes, all new brake lines, A/C unit, Anti freeze changed with new hoses and belt, Lower ball joints and a driver side CV shaft. Can't buy a new car now so I put this one back on the road again. Just went on a 150 mile round trip and got 28 mpg. Wow! That 3.0 Vulcan is a great motor.

You shouldn't prefill your oil filter (most oil filter boxes even have a symbol telling you not to) and if you insist on prefilling you don't go through the middle hole, that's after the filter. The oil comes from the sump through the pump into the outer holes on the filter and to the engine from the larger middle hole.
