Original Ford Oil Filters
Frequently Asked Questions
What Do Oil Filters Do?
Collect the infiltrates in motor oil, from its production process and from engine parts lubrication. If a vehicle didn't have one, its oil pump and the pump's bearings would start to wear out, and fast. Plenty of other components would, too.
What are the Parts of an Oil Filter?
Aside from the filter medium itself, a housing, and a gasket. The former, you can usually find in the engine bay, right next to the engine cover; it holds the oil filter and attaches it to the engine. The latter is a rubber connector that helps seal the filter, plus keep oil from leaking from it; it's basically a plug, for both kinds of oil filters, external and internal.
The oil filter assembly itself, however, is located underneath the compartment, as far as accessibility goes. To get to it, you'll probably need to take out an undertray. Some models, though, do make it accessible from above the bay. For the final word on this, check your owner's manual.
When Do You Change Oil Filters?
Usually when the media clogs or wears out because of age. Replace the housing gaskets when they become brittle, crack, and cause oil leaks; a corresponding drop in oil pressure and the engine oil warning light coming up on the dash is telling here. (Both conditions can cause engine performance problems.) Otherwise, regularly -- according to most owner's manuals, every 3,000 miles or every 3 months. That's during an oil change or during every other one.
How Do You Tell What Oil Filter Fits Your Vehicle?
Check your maintenance info. It should contain a mention of the right thread and gasket sizes. It's critical to use a filter that's the correct size in both cases. One that's the wrong size can, like a bad housing gasket, also result in an oil leak. It can also come off the oil pump, and this often causes some seriously expensive engine damage.
When it's replacement time, be sure to order an oil filter Ford makes. You can take care of it online, right here at our auto parts store.
Why is a Genuine OEM Oil Filter the Best Choice?
It'll be the right size for the model you drive, right off the shelf (as will the housing and gaskets). That's a compatibility guarantee. Just browse our catalog by make, model, and year to find them more easily. Buy now, and we'll ship quickly, right to your address. Please contact our team with any additional questions.
