Reason i ask is i can get them pretty cheap, and was wondering whether to stick with the Motorcraft one, or go for the FRAM one. Any info would be great.

boXXer

I've used fram's for years, and are top notch, and never had a problem.

GARETH T

if they win the contract that year they do

BTW there really is no difference between one from a local parts show and ford 99% of the time

boXXer

i seeee. Thats handy to know. Think im gunna go and buy a few then.

the fitter i work with worked in frams for 10 years, he said the only difference between a ford filter and a cheapo for motorfactors is the QA side of things,, i cant remember the numbers, but they examine one in 100 ford filters and 1-300 motorfactors units

Rick

always use Fram

ok, just been to get one, and looked in the book. Forgot that there was 2 lengths! DOH! anyway, picked up one of each and asked a few people off here who told me it was the short one for 2WD, but it was too late and i had already bought both. Is it safe to use the long one still?

Rick

yes, the other is if u have no clerance.

bud-weis

don't think the longer one will fit

boXXer

ah right. Fair enough. If not, there is a free 4x4 oil filter going if anyone wants it.
