Where are you getting motorcraft filters?

I have always bought my motorcraft 1995 oil filters at Walmart. They don't seem to be stocking them anymore. If you aren't using a motorcraft, what brand are you using?

I bought my oil from Costco when i last changed my 2 vans, and the other vehicles i maintain. I must've had some filters on the shelf, i can't remember where i got the 1995 filter.

If you still have one of the old filters that you can get a part number from, Google it and see what pops up.

I have only been able to find the FL 1995-A. I am thinking of trying a couple rotella filters. Which can be bought at tractor supply for the same price as we pay for our motorcraft filters. Maybe $1 more or something. They seem to look exactly like our old motorcraft filters. I will do an oil analysis on my last motocraft I have on the shelf and then do the same oil analysis with the rotella filter and see if anything changes. I will also use travelers 15W-40 in the oil analysis. At least that's the plan anyway. Not sure when I will get to this. I only have 1500 miles on my current oil so..... Might be a bit.

Couldn't find the last one I had from a case I bought from Ford so I picked one up at Orileys, I think it was $12.
Whenever I order from RiffRaff I'll probably pick up a couple more since I also didn't see them at Walmart last time I was there.

They were like $24 at amazon, didn't buy there.

Donaldson,Baldwin or Fleetguard are also brands that can be used with trust.

I have been using MAN ML1020 from Amazon vendors, but it looks like they are not so easy to find anymore!



Here are some of the different brand part numbers for PS 7.3 engine oil filters I got from somewhere few years ago:




Link to a cross reference that looks OK:

I don't understand the problem with the -A filter. And when buying others, I recall reading that one of them is longer and is subject to getting beat on by the axle.

I just don't like the way the new ones look. If you look down the throat of the filter you can see a completely changed the design and it looks like crap. Chinese crap. That's just my opinion. I don't like the way the new one looks. I might start using the k&n filter that sous uses with the 1-in nut on the bottom to make it easy to remove.
