Who Makes Motorcraft Oil Filters?

[BumpDraft2004]

Used to be Arvin-Meritor but I thought I read they sold their passenger car filter business.

Purolator

Purolator, but to Ford specs and supposedly Motorcraft filters runs down a different line that gets periodic inspection by Ford.

i think that Purolator does not make the 6.0 and 6.4L Powerstroke filters, i used to know the vendor, but the name slips me.

Most Motorcraft are made by "Purolator"

Bosch and MANN+HUMMEL have owned Purolator for about 3 1/2 years...

So are the Motorcraft filters identical to regular Purolators? Not the PureOnes, just regular.

no, they are made to different specs..

for instance some have different drainback valves and bypass locations.

Some even think that the media is similar to the PureOne, but never seen anything to verify that.

Hard to say ... it's difficult to get accurate beta ratio info on Motorcraft filters. I emailed Ford yesterday asking them if they have beta ratio numbers on their oil filters. Will see if I get any kind of response.

Yes, Purolator, now German owned. Made by doesn't mean the same as. You think you can get a Royal Purple or M1 for an ST price? Note, not all ST's are Ecore.

 

[roadrunner1]

the 6.0, 6.4 filters are made by racor

 

[hardcore302]

God. Or Superman, I foget. I like them alot, though.

 

[labman]

Racor? Don't hear much about them. What else do they make? Are they independent or owned by somebody?
