Napa 1515. Cant go wrong it is a Wix filter. 31515
Worked for Fram back in 1993...You go to the stealership just for oil filters? My presence at the Ford parts counter indicates surrender and desperation.
All the local parts chains here carry them. If not Motorcraft, then usually Purolator, Mobil, Bosch, Wix. Walmart too. Of course there's always a Fram PH8A on the shelf, but Frams are bright orange for same reason venomous and poisonous animals are orange: so you can avoid them without getting close.
Is that referring to my Wix recommendation?winning the race to the bottom dollar, way to go!
What's the quote from the movie Armageddon?Worked for Fram back in 1993...
Filter media was top shelf back in those days.
Then Billy BJ KKKlinton and NAFTA came around.
Scrapped all the equipment that made the media. Sent the assembly machinery to Mexico and Canada.
Explains a lot!

The Fram hp filters are of good quality, actually superior to most filters on the parts store shelf. The lesser Fram varieties I’m not so sure aboutI’ve never understood the Fram hate. My dad and gpa ran them on motors to 300k+ miles. I ran them on my 5.0 back in the day to 200k+. I like the motor craft now a days on my mustang, mainly b/c I’ve spent too much time reading on forums.
Yup -WTH? Always bringing politics into threads.
Cool. You're just here to rustle up business and insult people anyway.Yup -
Don't like it?
Don't read it!
Nah... just enjoy aggravating pajama boys like you.Cool. You're just here to rustle up business and insult people anyway.
Because the $10 Fram filter was functionally identical to the $4 Motorcraft filter, whereas the $4 Fram filter was a liability to put on the engine. At least that's why I'm not a fan.I’ve never understood the Fram hate. My dad and gpa ran them on motors to 300k+ miles. I ran them on my 5.0 back in the day to 200k+.

I’ve used those $1.60 car quest filters (business account as well) and they’re actually great quality if you cut them open.i would just go with the Napa Gold if you are worried about convenience, there very good filters. not sure if your Walmart sells Motorcraft like the Walmart in states does. my Advance Auto also does if you have those, they pretty much own Carquest so i would think Carquest could get them. otherwise Puralotor is what i used is Motorcraft not an option.
honestly tho ive gotten soo bad about using cheap oil filters and clearance oil on my vehicles lately. with my comercial account with Advance, i buy the cheap individual bulk Carquest filters. there like $1.60 each my cost. im sure quality is terrible but i change it pretty frequent. also there was a time that Mobile Super 5000 10w-30 was on clearance only $0.43 a quart, normally 6$ a quart so i bought 150 quarts till no more was avalible in the state. Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic 10w30 was also on clearence for about $0.98 a quart, normally $10 a quart. only managed to get about 40 quarts of that which i use in engines i care more about.
