Default Oil Change

I changed my oil for the first time over the weekend. In all of my other mustangs, I ran Royal Purple and a Wix filter. Needless to say, I did the same this time. Yesterday and continuing on in to today, I've noticed a tick from the motor. I called Ford, and talked to a service rep...he explained to me that other oil is ok, but make sure to ALWAYS use a Motorcraft filter. Something about the filter returns oil better?? And at least in the 5.4, has caused a tick. I was just curious if anyone else has ran into this.
