My 98 f150 has the 4.6 and I have been using the motorcraft filters but have used supertechs. Is there another part number for the st to get a larger filter? The one it calls for is about a 1/3 smaller than the motorcraft.
 
I'd just stick with the MC filter. The price difference could be found out in the parking lot.

What is meant by this price difference being found out in the parking lot? Go to Napa and get a Napa Select and sleep well at night. Wal-mart is bad for the economy!
 
The size (length) difference is due to the construction that doesn't require the bulky hardware on the internals.

..but there are longer options ..but I sincerely doubt that there's an ST part # for it.

I mean you can easily find 50 cents out in the parking lot and stick with the proper size and nice silicone adbv.
 
The Super Tech line of oil filter's is not very extensive, the applications covered are limited. You are futher restricted by the particular stores desire to find shelf space for them. Many stores don't stock the full line.

The Motorcraft line of oil filters are made by Purolator. Should you find a defective one you'll first have to go through Helm, Inc. Good luck trying to get any satisfaction out of either company.
 
You are not going to know if it's defective until you open it up. I'm referring to media that is ripped or torn, seam ends that are not bonded to one another.
 
I only ran into three production code runs that were bad. I found two defective filter's with production code 907050623, one in 908030613, and one in 909130523.

If you have Oreillys stores there, check the size of the store brand Micro Guard filter.
