I've decided that I am going to replace my fuel filter. My question is which brand is an acceptable replacement for motorcraft? The dealerships are closed for the weekend and I want to get this out of the way.. I know fram makes sub-par oil filters but would their fuel filters be alright? Or would I be better off sticking to a local parts store, or even autozones brand?

Thanks for the help

 

I would just get an AutoZone.

 

That's kind of what I was thinking

 

Get a fuel line disconect tool to get it off with.

 

I put an Autozone one on in November and it has surface rust on it around the end cap's. Doesn't look to be problematic, but next time around I'm definitely going Motorcraft, rust on something all my fuel goes through worries me.

 

Can't go wrong with motorcraft. I got a motorcraft filter from advance for around $11.

 

I used a Puralator (sp) and it's been fine so far, and do get the tool. Well worth it!

 

I got a Wix filter from Autozone. No problems with that.

 

the only filter autozone had was their brand. so unfortunately i just went with that.. and yeah i cant imagine changing it without the tool. even with it the front line was a little tricky to get off.. all is well though. thanks guys

 

Getting the lines loose with the tool is still a pain in the butt
