Are there any fuel filters from Advance, Autozone, etc that are just as good as the Ford one? Just wondering since its time to change mine again. Lot easier to buy it where I get my Mobil1 then have to order or hope that the Ford dealer has one.

Thanks.

 

I would stick with the Motorcraft Filter, How often do you need to change it?

 

I think every 30k is good. But I will do mine once a year. Already did once.

Those stores may carry Motorcraft filters, take a look.

FG1083 expect to pay 9.00-18.00 bucks

 

just buy a factory one. not more expensive enought to bother.

 

Recommended change interval is 10k. I suggest Motorcraft, WIX, Hastings in no particular order.

Is it really? In all my years of writing maintence repairs, not one manufactor recomends it at 10k.

 

I just bought one from NAPA.

 

****, Napa more expensive that motorcraft

FIL 3243
Fuel Filter (Gold) MSRP 21.54 Cost 11.09

Motorcraft cost for me is 8.88

 

My g/f's dad owns a NAPA store, so I get the hookup

 

heh, nice!
I get wholesale pricing, but Im sure theres a better hook up to be had from an owner, lol.

 

I believe its every 30k miles not 10k. I believe I can get the Motorcraft from Advance.

 

got a local repair shop? got a local dealer?
Call the dealer, say your the repair shops name, and you need a fuel filter for your application and youll send your driver to pick it up. Go pick it up, sign for it, free filter!!

Ive never done this, but it seems like it would work as long as the local shop has an account, which most do.

 

15k miles or 1 year, same as the cabin air filter.

 

It would not work because almost all repair shops are cash/check only. No Charge accounts.

By the way here a little thread you might like wehn it comes to fuel filter replacment intervals.

We have charge accounts at nearly every dealer within a 25 mile radius.
