Oil Filter?

[bad98rt]

I have to change my oil and I have no idea what year the 5.0 is. I am guessing all oil filters are the same for the 5.0 liter Ford. Just wanted to make sure with you guys. My guess is that it is a 89-93 fuel injected.
Thanks in advance

You need a Motorcraft FL1A filter, unless you have the optional, external oil cooler. Then you need the Motorcraft FL-300 filter. The FL-300 is essentially a shorter version of the FL1A.

Thanks, is the FL-300 basically shorter due to clearance issues?

and the fram is a PH8A

Don't run a fram filter. They tend to fall apart internally

Thanks guys..I never thought about looking at my old one and it is the motocraft Fl-1A and it is what I bought.

I only run a Motorcraft FL1A. Same filter for my 5.0s and both my 65 200 inline 6s.

FL1A every time!!

I run Mobil 1 filters. Cant remember the number. But its significantly heavier than Fram and Motorcraft filters.

I run the K&N filter, HP-3001 is the part number I believe

And the wacked part is, my 2.3 takes a FL-1A also, like it needs that big of a filter

FL1A every time!!

+1 Motorcraft brand oil as well. Every change.
