I know there has been a discussion about not using Fram oil filters because of poor filtration and other problems.
Does this apply to fuel filters?
Not sure, but I have been using either Purolator or an Amsoil filter when I switch to synthetic. Purolator or Wix are reccommended if you don't use the Amsoil filter. It will need changed more often though.
Don't know about the fuel filters. I've always bought Frams for that. :dunno:
The problem with Fram oil filters is their drainback device, not the actual filter medium. Thus, a Fram fuel filter should be fine.
The whole Fram oil filter debacle is confined to Extra Guard filters, not the Tough Guard filters. (or so say the internets (http://"http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html#fram"))
I always get Motor Craft everything (fuel, air, oil) but their probably made by Fram too.
Well, the other problem with frams is that the filter element has cardboard endcaps, instead of stamped steel like most of the other brands out there. So there's a chance the endcaps can disintegrate and go into your engine.
Actually Motorcraft oil filters, as it says right on that website, are basically Pure One filter elements in a Pure Plus case.
I've been running regular Purolator filters for the most part, for the last couple years.
