That would be OK if you knew the "better" or "different" specs that Ford uses. Could you tell us what those specs are?
Never looked into it. I don't see them marking down the same product that much and letting it fly under someone else's name that directly competes with their name.
I was just saying just because it is made by the same company that doesn't mean it is the same thing.
Why not Ford with the better specs?
I could probably buy 3-4 Wix for what the local dealer would want for one. And I don't think the difference in quality would be huge.
I use MC oil filters and oil because they are priced reasonably at wally world.
My truck almost has 140k miles on it running in a filthy environment, intake is always clean and it runs great. I do check them every oil change because I do a lot of running on gravel roads.
