Can Anyone Tell Me The Part Number For Thier Favorite Oil Filter? I Went To The Store And Looked For A Fram Oil Filter And I Couldnt Find One!

 

Grumpy, most will tell you to stay far away from Fram. I can't help you, but if you're just pokin around, do a search in the 6.0 forum for oil filters and I'm sure you'll have plenty of reading to do.

 

Thank You!

 

The Motorcraft Part # is FL 2016 and is what I use. The Wix is supposed to be ok from what I've heard but I can get the Factory Filters at a good price so I stick with them,, I listed some part #'s, Hope this helps,

International 1840752-C91; 1844588-C91; Luber-finer LP2016; Motorcraft FL2016; Purolator L45515; Wix 57314

 

Autozone Wix - $10.95 is the same patent number as ford filter,,,,

 

Wix oil filter part # is 57314. I ordered mine from from filter 1 for 11.58 a piece. www.filter1.com if you want to look at their web site.

 

I Think I Will Go With The Motorcraft....seems Like A Good Idea

 

Do a search in here. I believe someone has compared the Ford filter to one they bought at Autozone??? and they have the same part numbers on them. I could be wrong though...Can someone remember where that post was?

 

yeah, like 3 post up from yours :=)

 

Very funny. I must have skim read. We also have discussed this in detail in another thread though too.

 

Easily missed ---- I tend to either get tot he point or write a book
:-)

 

Why will most say to stay away from Fram? Is that just with the 6.0 diesels? Been using Fram on my cars/trucks since I can remember. Never heard anything negative about them. Havent had the opportunity to change the oil on my SD yet as I am only at 700 miles, but would be glad to know the reason I ought to steer clear of Fram. Thanks for your time and insight.

 

The fram filters are very cheaply constructed. There is a spring holding the filter element in place and if that spring collapses or breaks, there is very little flow of oil. A friend of mine rebuilt a 455 Buick Stage 1 motor and used a fram oil filter. Ruined the motor on the cam break in because of a lack of oil flow. When he cut the filter apart, the spring was broken and there was very little oil in the filter. We did rule out the oil pump as the problem.
