Even at twice the price filters are cheap. Motorcraft only for this guy. YMMV
I tend to agree, although Motorcrafts aren't Motorcrafts either... K&N are a reputable company from what I understand...and these filters look an awful lot like the Racors that come in the Motorcraft packaging other than the color of the media itself. Maybe they are just repackaged Racors too. if so you can't beat the price. That's why I was asking, to hear from someone that has held one in their hands.
Plus buy a few spares along with fuel filters from them and get free shipping with a large $ order. When you factor in the price of the oil (especially sync like T6) saving $4 on the filter is questionable, even IF it turns out to be a re-branded racer (today). Like Fram, someday, they may change it and you'll be SOL.
Either it has the patent numbers and is the correct filter, or it doesn't fit. It's pretty simple, not a brand thing at all just a question of if it is or is not the specified part.
