Motocraft can be bought at Wal-Mart for oil. Fuel filter and possibly oil can be bought at NAPA. I really like all of NAPA's filters, they use WIX as their oil filters and they have good quality.

It is hard to beat Rotella-T and Delo 400 at Walmart for 9.99 a gallon.

Just got a new replacement for the 6637. It is refilable and gets more flow. It is made by truflow.com
They can cross ref. the 546637 part filter from napa. I can't remember what there part number is.
Check out the video they have.

I just bought the 6637 from NAPA and put it on the EX. $40.83 with AAA discount. They didn't even ask for proof. Man that was a very easy mod. Removed filter and box and boot. Put boot on filter and replaced boot and new filter. Max time 10-15 minutes. I am going to check the mpg and see if it went up. The old filter was very dirty. Shame on me.
