RE: Which filters can be trusted ?

A agree with Pete's Ponies. Since the local Car Quest CUT OPEN several filters. Showing the Fram was one of the worst. And Motorcraft was one of the best I have used only the Motorcraft FL-1 and it is kind of nice that I only have to buy one filter size as it fits my 390 as well as my daily driver 302.
I have NEVER remembered seeing metal shavings on any of the Motorcraft filters. Plus I also remember that I think they were less expensive that the Fram filters. Go figure & they are a better filter than the Frams are.
Another reason the Motorcraft, Mobil 1 & Carquest filters are better is that they use a pressure blow off return spring not a piece of rubber or foam to return the filter element incase of a filter blockage. This is a saftey system that keeps your engine fed with oil in the event that the filter plugs for some reason.
If the blockage in the filter clears up the spring will return the filter element to filter the oil. Hope I have explained it good enough.
I would not hesitate to use the Motorcraft filters
This thread, so far...
