Is this an online retailer or local? I'm interested in learning more about these filters.
 
JHZR2,

I too have a cummins dodge and run the mobil 1 filter. It cost me 9 bucks for a fleetguard from cummins and I can buy the mobil 1 at autozone for 10 bucks just down the street. That's a no brainer for me. I have been very pleased with the performance of the mobil 1 and from what I have read on here everyone seems to think it is a great filter. They are pretty high for the wife's malibu and my mom's honda crv.

FG, do you know what the actual difference is and why Ford does it this way? In your opinion, which is the "better" filter? (I know I can't buy the factory one, I'm just curious.)

Big deal. The real question is how much media is in-between them. Also care of assembly and dome end bypass.

Yes..I do know why.

No..i'm not going to tell all...

But suffice to say..the Champ construction and quality control is a part of it.

Besides the difference in performance of the media.
 
ewetho, that's exactly what I'm trying to find out. IS the factory-supplied filter actually better than the aftermarket Motorcraft version?

...and HOW do I get one? Order it from the dealer? E-mail Bill Ford? Do you have a part #?
