The price difference is negligible. There was a 30% cost increase on us overnight one month last year so I don't expect any price lowering.So both are going to continue to be available, or it was a temporary band-aid? Do you think one style is better?
Perhaps a price advantage? I used to get FL-400s for 3.99 and the other day it was $8.44.
They weren't loaded into the catalogs at first and most have been removed by now. FWIW a lot of parts guys just don't care about that stuff. They don't read the notices or pay attention outside of "new number to bill out."
So Ford dealerships aren't stocking them anymore? Is that line of filters even being manufactured anymore? I know you work at a dealership and have good inside info.
We don't. Some do, I can order them but its easier to just have the normal ones listed in the catalog.So Ford dealerships aren't stocking them anymore? Is that line of filters even being manufactured anymore? I know you work at a dealership and have good inside info.
Shipping kills a lot of the discount I could do on something like this.I know you work at a dealership and have good inside info.
Maybe he can get us a nice discount
I was only joking..
I appreciate the thought. There are a few great people here that I have sold parts to. Just have to factor in any parts savings with whatever UPS charges. Stuff like batteries and fluids are no fun to ship because they are HAZMAT. Body parts are big so you hit the wall of LTL shipping.
To expand, I am sure they are fine. Ford wouldn't put their name on it if it didn't meet all of the specs and check off all of the boxes. A lot of people in the industry don't like change or options where they have to use any extra brain cells.
Yes, Ford says their Motorcraft oil filters meet USCAR-36, so that other line of Motorcraft oil filters most likely meet that spec too.
