Motorcraft oil filters meet high-quality standards and are Ford's recommended replacement oil filter for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. The filter will reliably protect the engine from abrasive particles, soot, sand, dust and metal shavings. This filter features a pressure relief valve that eliminates the risk of contaminated oil flowing back into the engine. It also keeps oil flowing into the engine at the correct pressure even at low temperatures or in the event of a clogged filter. The filter housing is made of steel, carefully machined for an exact fit, painted to protect against corrosion and grooved for easy and convenient removal.
