Oil Filter - Any substitute?
Hi, I was quote 52 dollars for an oil filter at the Ford Stealer. Does anyone tried a different brand? I have one in my hand but it has another piece that you have to add, so it was ot made for my truck obviously. Can we have some issues with it?
It is probably shorter since I have to put an extra piece.

Absolutely do not use that filter. It's a recipe for disaster. Motorcraft at Walmart approx. 20 bucks and the Fram is about two bucks cheaper. Never use a/m with adapters on the 6.0.

Thanks, i will check at wallmart for the Fram. We really get ripped off in Canada. Diesel filter online charge me 24 dollars for shipping alone, so that will be 18 plus 24= 42 dollars, so this will be out of the question.
I hope they have the Fram at Wally. May be I can find some online.

I can get 6 Racor oil filters delivered to my door for $90.
They give a discount for 6 = $13.50 each + about $8.95 for shipping. Just not sure if that price for shipping would be the same to you.

The Fram filter is a repackaged Racor filter just like the Motorcraft filter

Oops, didn't see that. I have seen the folks in Canada getting hammered on shipping.

More filters at a time instead of the one...volume sells. The Racors at Diesel Filter Online are $14 a piece, the shipping will be the same for 9 of them (case quanity). There is nothing better for the truck at a better price than Racor filters...IMHO
