ive always used fram filters and cant figure out why anyone would slam a company that only makes filters over one that makes all of the other things and some filters.... if exxon/mobile started making cola would everyone slam coke or pepsi.... in the end nobody is using dollar store paper towels inside their filters
well thats the problem.... quit cutting filters open and never look at the hotdog after you bite it
Maybe I'm still sleeping but I don't get it
YEAH! i dont want to know what the filter is catching... just that its a filter... if its clean then its a filter and if its dirty then im sure the filter isnt the problem
I wonder what you think about K&N Engineering? Have used those filters on all of my Fords since 2014 with Castrol Edge Full Synthetic, and never had an issue, The filter material hold material well, and hold up physically. No warping or since of degradation aside from the discolor obviously. (after dissection) or in the drain pan. I do believe in using Motorcraft parts, however I am open to something that may exceeded their exacting standards. For Instance Dorman makes a aftermarket PTU for Gen 5 Explorers/Edges that has a Drain in the bottom so that you can actually service the PTU, and don't have to drill your own drain. Why wouldn't you use something like that? Cheers!
Motor craft was a cheap filter, now if you can buy it, its $12&$15 a filter. What happen?
Well They lied to us about a biological weapons attack which screwed up the global economy. Then they printed money until the printer ran out of ink and paper with nothing to back it up. Then while that was going on they prosecuted a war on affordable energy. So everything is twice to three times what it was a few years ago. I still like the build quality and engineering of the K&N Products. I will take the Pepsi challenge against the Motorcraft. That would make a interesting yet minty Lube Tube Vydia.
Rock auto plus shipping. So say $10 each including shipping. The bunch would be around ten.
I going towards wix products
Price really isn't the consideration here. Quality and Protective Qualities mean more to me than how much it costs every 5k miles.
Wix is horrible these days. There is a real reason the pro's recommend genuine Motrocraft filter. I am simply soliciting opinions on the offerings from K&N Engineering. I have had good luck, and found their filter material to be as good or better than OEM.
