What oil filter?
 

About to change the oil in my Fox and the oil in my buddy's 01, what's the best filter around? :confused:

I have heard and somewhere on this www thier was or is a site that did all sorts of filter testing. Wix came out first but can not find one. An alternative is a NAPA GOLD filter, apperantly they are made by WIX just rebranded. The Ford filters held up great. Fram failed terribly. I will try and find the link for you. good luck. :tup

found it: http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html Not sure how legit all that info is, but someone once told me whatever I read on the internet is true.:) Peace.

Its easy, go buy a Ford Motocraft filter and be done with it.

Agreed! good ol' ford FL1As... buy them by the case. cheap enough too.

"Good oil filters - K & N, SuperTech(Wal-mart), Casite, Napa Gold, Mobil 1,
Motorcraft, Purolator, Wix"
- from a pretty reliable source.

Have used K&N in the past :tup

i have used fram oil filters in the past, but not the regular ones, get the double gaurd or what ever they are called if you go with fram.
when i change my oil i like to get the best because that is the heart of you vehicle.

if you want the best then you definetly don't want fram! (double guard or not)

I use K&N... :tup

-Ford OEM
-K&N
-Amsoil

I agree, use mobil 1 or whatever brand oil you want but I always go with the Ford filter

This might shed some light, certainly on the Fram ones.
