In the past, I bought my oil and fuel fiters from National Fleet Parts. They sell Motorcraft Brand Filters. I checked out the Oil Guard web-site after reading about people using them on this forum. Oil Guard's prices are much cheaper, but I noticed that the filters are not Motorcraft brand. My question is this: Do the fuel and oil filters meet Ford requirements, and will there be any warranty issues by using non-Motorcraft filters? Thanks.

 

I have only received oil filters from oilguard so far, and when I compared the one installed by the dealer to the one from oilguard it was the same exact thing, same manufacter and same numbers, made in germany. I have ordered fuel filters from oilguard but haven't received them yet so I can't comment.

 

They have both the OEM filters in the OEM box and the same exact filter without the box for much less.

The units are made by Racor. Give Oilguard a call and they'll clear up any questions for concerns that you might have. Because I live near by, I actually stopped in for a chat and to pick up the filters and save them shipping. Very nice people.

 

Thanks guys. Daryl, are you saying that the $11.00 filters are exactly the same as the $21.00 filters? They are both made by Racor? Which ones do you use?

 

Yes that is what he is saying...best thing in FTE is those filters....didn't mean to answer for you Daryl....buddy...friend ...partner

 

WOW. I'm going to order them right now. Thanks.

 

Order the OilGuard system....it is great...and well worth the money!

 

Yup, that's right, as far as I could tell by looking at them they were the same items. And Oilguard told me they are the same actual units as well.

I went for the $11 version. Seems to be working fine. I'll see what my oil analysis shows next change but I don't believe that I'll see any difference.
