External transmission filter

Where is everyone getting theirs at? Mine is leaking and I want to replace it with a new o ring to see if that stops it or to see if it's the housing. I'd like a motorcraft filter but none of them come with a o ring. Advance sells 2 that come with a o ring but look cheap and actually look different.

I bought that filter from Amazon and returned it. The picture shows an NTZ filter but the one I received was unmarked in a plain white box with only "Made in China" stamped on the box.

NAPA has the NTZ filter with an O ring.

This is where I buy the majority of my filters from. Just to note, this was also in some cases the common price difference for the parts my company supplied to both Ford Motorcraft and to our own aftermarket brands. Both parts were the exact same, the Motorcraft box/bag costs a lot.

Congratulations you just found the reason I do use Amazon unless I don't have any other option.
Between the third party sellers and you never know what your getting and the fact that Amazon
wants to see all your local stores closed so you have to go to them No Thanks.

I was skeptical when I bought it due to the reviews, several said they got a plain white filter. The Motorcraft I have on the shelf is an NTZ.

Sometimes with Amazon, if they run out of a product in the warehouse they immediately flip to some of the second tier suppliers. I've put stuff in the cart and when ready to place found it was re-directed to a secondary source. I think it's one of the flaws in their system, they treat the sales are through the supply chain has no deviations. Through AMZN it may be the correct part, but secondary suppliers ......

ATP is the supplier and they show 2 numbers, TF-227 and B-227, both fit the 6.0, the TF-227 is pictured plain white. Amazon has been great with returns, especially when it's not as advertised.

Jack,
What about the fuel filters? I see dieselfiltersonline.com have 3 sets listed. Prime Guard, Racor and Motorcraft. Does Racor make the fuel filters for Ford? Are the Prime Guard filters of lower quality like the aftermarket oil filters?
