Repackaged Oil Filters
How many brands of oil filters for the 6.0 are just repackaged racor filters?
Is it just the Motorcraft and International or are there others? I though I read in one of the forums that Fram are repacked Racors.

I have also read that at times Fram repackages Racor oil filters for the 6.0 but I personally don't trust this to be the case at all times. A company like Fram may change from one original manufacturer to another without any notice to the customer. For my peace of mind I only use Motorcraft or Racor (International not available in my area). I normally try to purchase from Diesel Filters Online as their prices are much better than the dealership.

It's been over a year now since Pep Boys had their sale on our filters, but the last sale I bought 16 filters driving over 2 counties hitting all the stores. I paid $7 for 2 filters with the coupon, a few stores insisted those filters were exempt from the sale until I asked them to double check. If the filter has any of these patent #'s it's a racor, some are made in USA and others are made in Germany. 6,086,763 6,554,139 6,837,993 6,983,851 6,986,426, 7,086,537 RE38,917 The German made ones have 2 of the above numbers, and also has a 03DFR code which might be a date code.

You can trust the Frams when they have the patent numbers listed above. All the Racor filters I got from Pep Boys were packaged in Fram box's.
