Title: Ford Hi_perf Oil filter.....
Post by: V8Demon on June 22, 2005, 08:48:16 AM
Came across this and was curious if anyone knew anything about them.  Apparently these supposed Hi performance Ford oil filters are NOT made by Purolator......

This is what I found just on a quick search over at that oil site:

Thanks bro,
I was wondering why the hell would there be such a markup  on the things.  No real reason apparently.....

I'm thinking of going after the Wix filter with the higher pressure bypass valve. I think there were also rumors of a physically larger filter, possibly (but not necessarily) with more filtering area, but our filters are already pretty big as it is. Other people look to upgrade to the filters we use.

I'd like to get one of the filters you linked to and cut it open.. along with a standard Motorcraft FL-1A.. and compare the two.
