I've seen a source of Motorcraft filters posted here, but am unable to locate that right now. Need fuel filter kit and IIRC the source had them at a lower price than my dealer's $110 price.

Link to the filter source please?

Go to dieselfiltersonline.com. The are the best. My opinion of course.

 

They are the best. Sorry

 

I get my fuel filters from diesel filters.com as well.

 

Amazon.com. Fuel filters are $49 for the pair and oil for $15. Free shipping too...

 

That's the one.

Thanks, guys!

 

diesel-filters.com and dieselfiltersonline.com used to be the cheapest. Amazon is now when you consider shipping.

 

That's insane, $110

 

My dealer wants $200 parts and labor to install.

 

200 bucks for 30 minutes of work...I am in the wrong business.

 

Rock Auto is a good source. Some shipping $ but fast delivery and Motorcraft filters

 

1st off, thanks for all the great info on here! I have 1,000 miles on my 1st ever diesel and started looking for service intervals. I found this on owner.ford.com, I dont see anything about the fuel filters. Are they supposed to be changed out every 3 months for "Normal Driving"?
Thanks again (Still learning)


Rotate and inspect tires; check wheel end play and turning noise
MEMO: Diesel engine; Up to 13.0 quarts of oil (IOLM)
Change engine oil and replace oil filter when indicated on vehicle message center or every 12 months whichever occurs first (Diesel engines)

I do fuel filters at 15K intervals myself.


5K on the oil changes.


Book calls for the message center to notify you when those need to be done. I opt for what I am comfortable doing.


Monthly you should drain the fuel/water separator though.

 

That's just the parts quote. Labor is extry.

 

Thanks for the info, I have looked for videos on the water separator and cant find any, any ideas if there are any on here?
