Who Makes Motorcraft Oil Filters

[m6pwr]

Seem to be very good in this comparison, although it doesn't compare efficiency of the filter media.

Purolator

Purolater..
They are priced good usually under $4.00 at wal mart.. wix makes a better filter and fram ultra seems to be liked around here also.

They are made by Purolator, the media seems very similar to the Classic but with a silicone ADBV and inlet bypass.

I've read the same thing! Purolator make the MotorCraft Oil Filter using a Puro Classic filtration(or even the P1 media) and the PureONE's silicone ADBV.

Also, the ByPass Valve is the FORD prefered design as the BPV is at the bottom instead of the top of the filter...but, I can't be sure about the BP Valve????

Hello, That link was illustrative indeed.
It showed many filters construction details.
The only info lacking was quality of filtration element.
For me it WIX, Motorcraft and CarQuest. Kira

They are made to Ford specification by Purolator and based upon testing of the FL-820s media by Amsoil, it would seem the MC media (93.7% efficiency) falls below a Purolator Classic (~97%) and a P1 (~99%).

As everyone has previously stated, they are made by Purolator. Good filters. Use with confidence.

Yes excellent filters but seem to be a different media than the other Puro's. There have been a few Motorcraft failures posted on here lately but no where near the number as Classics, I would still use one with confidence.

The "same media as the Pure1" has been regurgitated on the web for years now and simply isn't true unless Puro punches holes in the Motorcrafts before shipping.

The oil change on my dads truck is coming up and I think I am going to make the switch to either the TG or the ultra.. Either the engine or the short trips (moisture) or a combination of the two always make the filter very wavy.

It was a shame though. Couldn't beat he $4 price.

hopefully that link will help people refrain from cutting apart totally good filters and posting pics on BITOG!

Those numbers mean absolutely nothing unless they are in context with a certain size particulate. Of course they mean little anyway without a report summarizing the result, or links to manufacturer websites with the results.

Thanks Overkill, who did the testing Amsoil?.

No, I think SWA Labs or something? A third party with the equipment to run the procedure/sequence.

They were all at 20um--anyone who has been here a while has seen these numbers over and over--try google.

I've been here a while too, and remember a lot of opinions on Puralator being the best filter, and how its a waste to only use one for one OCI. This forum is better off with the posting of more facts, or opinions based on fact. Not everyone has been here a while, and those people can be mislead, we all should try to minimize that. Posting links to confirm statements as opposed to saying search Google is a much more helpful way to share information.

Perhaps, but it is not like the information about MC and Purolator efficiencies are that hard to find and if you been here a while there are dozens of posts about this.

I've tried to search and often its not easy sifting through many sometimes hundreds of posts. Thanks
