Oil filter

[Coupe]

hi folks, i use since a few years FRAM oil filters. Now i think about to change the brand and swap to motorcraft filters. is that a good decision, or is FRAM perfectly good?

Been using motorcraft for years with excellent results. Many will tell you the same thing.

amsoil FTW!!!!!!!!!!

FRAM €7.00
Motorcraft €9.65
but if you mean, motorcraft is the best, i will try it

Motorcraft is far better than Fram, much larger filtration area, higher single pass effeciency, silicone anti-drain back valve, higher flow rate.

Motorcraft for me every time.

Get away from Fram. They are lesser quality that Motorcraft, as well as the others stated above.

Fram filters suck!

Motorcraft filters only!

Also, Motorcraft filters have the bypass valve located at the threaded end, which is where Ford wants it.

Over the years, MANY issues have been reported with FRAM oil filters including warnings from various auto manufacturers.

*Do a Google

Issues include (though are not limited to): dry starts due to anti-siphoning valve.
quality.
filtration.
low grade filter components.As a shop manager/service advisor in a previous life, I've worked several turbo-charged Volkswagen and Audi engine warranty claims where FRAM oils filters were to blame.

Been using FoMoCo OEM filters (Autolite in the old days, and Motorcraft since) for 50years without any issues.

we spoke about the Motorcraft FL-820S! right?

[RF Overlord]

FL820S is the correct number for the Marauder and all 4.6L Crown Vic/Grand Marquis.

[Coupe]

thank you all. i ordered 10 pieces in the states. ouh, why must the shipping be sooo expensive???

[ctrlraven]

Motorcraft or Purolator Gold are wise choices, both are made by the same parent company.

Fram are garbage! I used to work at a parts store and we cut a Fram open and a Purolater and the Fram was terrible compared to Purolater, however I don't like Purolater either. Motorcraft is what I use but I will also use WIX filters. The WIX are a great quality filter also.

[RF Overlord]

I don't like Purolater either. Motorcraft is what I use You know Motorcraft filters are made by Purolator, right?

i ordered 10 pieces in the states. ouh, why must the shipping be sooo expensive???There are no Ford dealers in Germany who could get them for you?

[Spectragod]

I've been using mobile 1 filters with good results.

[JOEMERC]

HHmmmm didn't know that....I usually use the WIX(actually NAPA Gold) but this past time I put a motorcraft on. Maybe I will be going back to the WIX.

yes, but €18.00 per piece!!!! EURO

[RF Overlord]

yes, but €18.00 per piece!!!! EUROIsn't that about what a litre of oil costs?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Out of curiosity, how often do you change the oil in your MM? I know most European-spec cars go much longer than American ones, but since you have an American-spec car I'm interested.
