On previous vehicles I've used various styles of the Perma Cool reloacters like this one.

They always did the job, but the finish on these looks pretty bad after a few months.

This time I tried one I found on eBay that appears to be a much better built product.

It cost $90 for those 2 pieces and I paid extra for them to provide the stainless braided lines built to my length specifications.

FRAM is a quality product, you will have no warranty trouble using their stuff

Purolator is also good stuff.

I believe the Motorcraft filters are made by Purolator.
As of 2 years ago Motorcraft FL820S filters were being made by Luberfiner. Luberfiner still has the NC gov't. contract and this was verified by Luberfiner. Still we had to use the Motorcraft filters on our 2000+ car police fleet to prevent any warranty issues. Go figger!

Fram USED to be good stuff. I won't use their oil filters now!
Purolator is good, so is Luberfiner ......Wix is top notch....... I use Motorcraft on MY Fords too.

I used NAPA Gold (made by WIX I think) for a year or so because they are good and Wally World had discontinued all Motorcraft stuff for a while back then. WW brought MC back and I started buying MC filters there for less than $4 versus $5-6 at NAPA. When I went in for cam phaser and lifter warranty work a year ago I had a MC filter on which they noted on the paperwork. No questions asked.

I think the next time I change my oil, I'll cut one of the TG FRAM's in half to see what's lurking inside.

I see FRAM got tore up on Wikipedia, but the author can't site any sources to his claims.

FRAM has worked for me for 20 years+. So has Motorcraft (well Autolite in the old days). No need to worry about it.
