They are cheaper than Fram filters to boot!

Well, just "dumb observation" on my part has told me that the
Motorcraft is doing what I want it to do. I change my oil when when
I can't read the "Add" mark on the dipstick, so filtration is not as
critical as the "dry start" and the Motorcraft cured that problem.

As an side comment, I recently noticed that a lot of the Wix and NAPA
filters are now made in China. That is the "death knell" for them in
my book.

Thanks, Bruce

What about Mopar??? Nobody mentioned Mopar
That's what I always buy.
They're really not that expensive either.

Re: Oil Filter Info
 

I did the "chop job" on a couple of MoPar filters and did not like
what I found. Besides, around my world you can only get them at the
dealer and they have become a little too condescending unless you are
a commercial shop account. The "walk in" counter is manned by "the
new guy" that is about 20 and loves "ricers". I have to resort to
pointing to the part on the monitor and saying "Looks like # 17".

Sheesh...

Good Luck, Bruce
