I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe it's just you.

You can buy a 2017 in the middle of 2016. 27k in 1 year isn't crazy high miles
With those miles, you know it hasn't been short-tripped. Good choice that Fusion.
I don't know why you think MC filters are better than Fram Ultras at about the same price, but to each their own.

I'm sure he doesn't know what you are talking about either. When I mentioned #3614 oil filters he reamed me- lol

Congrats on the purchase.

The 2.5 is a rock solid and smooth running engine, it's based on the 2.3, so you will feel right at home coming from the 07 model maintenance wise.

They are getting closer in price - might be time to treat my Briggs & Stratton to a Fram Ultra

If I were only brave enough to recommend PUP or Mobil 1 Extended Performance for cleaner pistons in his 10k OCI's, and then compound the incoming anger by recommending an Oversize XG16 Fram Ultra or MG421-1 Microgreen.

MC filters perform very well on Ford engines. Remember, the oil you use is far more important than the filter you use. High end expensive filters really will not provide longer engine life. It's a feel good thing. But quality oils will provide excellent performance at longer OCIs.

Who is making them ? - I used them for years until I heard Purolator made some ...

I believe Purolator makes most if not all of them, same for the Mopar filters. The exceptions are the Motorcrafts from the factory are believed to be Champion Labs (or were), and some of the Mopar filters (usually the Canadian ones) are Wix.

Very clean and got a good price. The dealer put Valvoline 5-20 in the sump, with a MC FL910 filter, but I will drain it out soon and replace with Mobil 1 0w20 Advanced Fuel Economy, with the MC FL910.


Congrats! Fusions have proven to be very reliable.

I'm gonna have to side with tig on this one. The driver seat in my 2010 is extremely comfortable, and I'm in it 2 hours a day, if not more.

Don't forget to change your cabin air filter. You should see them after only one year of about 13,500 miles. Much cheaper at rock Auto on line.


Only 88,000 miles? You should have lots of life left in her. Mine's got nearly 3x as many miles, and still powers through 110+ miles each day like a champ. Take care of her, and she'll take care of you.

.. and I agree with you about Rock Auto for filters. I've got 3 CFs and 2 AFs from them in my stash, each of which was under $5 a pop.
