so all you oil filter guru's please chime in.
Really like Motorcraft Oil Filters.. Seem to be made very very well and for the $ it looks very good, also most have Silacone ADBV.. If the model numbers ends with a ( s ) like
FL400S then you know the ADBV will be Silicone
Many people on the forums use Motorcraft.
Check one out on you tube and see how well they are made and how the bypass is at the TOP of the OIL FILTER..
I would use them for my Car but they are hard to find in this Area....
Or you can go with PURE ONE, Or Purolator
Just stay away from the FRAM EXTRA GAURD... OCOD...
The FRAM ULTRA is a well respected Filter and so is the Tough Gaurd...
However I would think about Motorcraft.
Click this link and look at the pics of a Motorcraft Oil Filter.
Its very heavy DUTY...
