While changing the filter, I broke both of the blue clips, trying to pull the center release out. I guess I neglected to put forward pressure on the fitting to allow it to move. Anyways, anyone know if the ones sold for the f150 are the same? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0040..._B0040CX0Y2_bi
It should be the same. I always get two new clips in the filter box from Napa but to the best of my knowledge, Ford hasn't changed these in a long time.
Not all dealerships are created equal. Knowing what things "should" cost and the technical work involved also helps. If you have a warranty item or another that revolves around a published TSB (Technical Service Bulletin), bring a copy of the TSB with you if requesting service or repair for this item. It really helps prove that you are watching.
