[98blackstallion]

Anyone know the best brand of oil filter?

motorcraft

seriously for the cost they cannot be beat.

 

[98blackstallion]

Thats what I would like to use but I cant get anyone to cross reference the filter I have now which is a STP S3531. The original filter no long works on my car since I installed the UPR K member so I was told about this filter but would like to know which one it crosses to in a motorcraft.

 

[bdcardinal]

does it use the same thread and gasket size just shorter?

 

[98blackstallion]

yep same thread and gasket size just shorter by like an inch?

Very nice man! I really appreciate all the help!

Motorcraft, Mobil 1, K&N Gold are all good oil filters IMO.

There's nothing wrong with Fram or Purolator filters either, but their core isn't built as strong as the others.

Purolator is fine, Fram is not anything that will go near my engine.

Seen tests, seen them cut open, they fail.

 

[1Phat5Liter]

I've heard about that with Fram filters.

that is an old read(2003) but good...moral of the story, never use fram filters

Try one of the filter relocation kits from Maximum Motorsports and you will be able to use the bigger FL-1HP.

For the money, the Motorcraft filter cannot be beat. It is a exceptional filter that I would easily pay $10 for. Ford wouldn't recommend it unless they knew it does the job well. If I cannot get a Motorcraft I usually spring for the Mobil 1 filter. The M1 filter is made of sythetic fibers etc. and probably is the best one for race applications. I suggest you try the Mobil1 filter before buying a relocation kit. The Mobil1 is considerably shorter than the Motorcraft, etc. and I am fairly confident that it will work with your setup.
