Does anyone know which of the filter manufacturers has the contract for Ford OE filters?

 

A quick google suggests Purolator make them for Motorcraft but im not sure if this is going to be American market only.

 

I doubt they use a single supplier Worldwide and I would imagine the supplier(s) change(s) every few years due to quoted price.

This suggests there may be several suppliers, if Fram only supply Diesel filters for Transits;

Sogefi, the automotive component company of the CIR Group is the OE supplier of the new diesel fuel filter for Ford Transit 2.0l engine range. At the beginning of April, Sogefi has introduced the aftermarket version FramŽ C12148

 

I found


which seems to sum the situation up.

I tend to use Mann anyway but got a Mann fuel filter for a 63 reg Fiesta 1.5 TDCi a while back and returned it. The label and one of the threaded mounting dowels were crocked.
