A lot of guys buy them online becuase they save a lot of $. You don't have to buy a Motorcraft filter. Last time I went to a Ford dealer they hiked up their fuel filter price like $20.

Wix are pretty good filters. http://www.wixfilters.com/wheretobuy/index.asp

Just make sure you buy a quality filter.

Your best price will most likely be Geno's Garage: http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....mber=FD4596-FD

I'm running the Racor from Geno's now -- looks exactly like the Motorcraft I pulled out. IIRC, Racor makes the Motorcraft filter.

IIRC they are just over thirty, but don't quote me. I haven't put one in mine in...well...the maintenance freaks on here would not appreciate it. It was GASP April...of last April! I know, I just keep forgetting. It looks like I will be buying a new house with a BIG shop of my own so I won't have to worry about getting everything done in the driveway or in a buddies/works shop.
