330hd oil filter

Who is using what? I want to change the oil and filter on my truck but can't find a filter on any of my website suppliers.

Still have the can with the replaceable filter element? Motorcraft FL20. Note you can switch to spin-on, and use FL1-A. Explained here, and in another thread linked here in post 3.

There ~~might be~~ is another adaptor also. ~~I will try to find out later today~~. I found these, which are the standard FE spin on mounts. Since I don't have an FT/FE block sitting here, perhaps you can eyeball your motor vs. these pictures and illustrations and see if it bolts right up to your block, which it should. Someone will be by to confirm or condemn this suggestion.

Most of the F-600 thru L-800 trucks I've worked on with FT engines used the FE car adapter pointing the filter down.
Pickups use the adapter with the filter sticking straight out for the filter to clear the cross member.

I found a filter insert at my local autoparts. They had one in stock. I am still going to see if I can find the adapter at the salvage yard.
