Fuel Filter advise

is there a difference between Napa and Motocraft fuel filters? :fordoval:

Yes, use a different cap usually. This has been discussed 9 million times. Buy ford filters with the ford cap.

Sorry, new here. is the napa filter bad? I googled it and someone mentioned they noticed lower fuel pressure. but I don't know if that is true, and if it was a stock fuel system like mine.

Motor craft has patents, therefore any other brand is different

that is the Oil. I use motocraft oil filters, but i'm talking about the fuel filters, and I know there is a difference other than the name. I should have been more spacific, is there a difference in the performance of fuel system using a non-motocraft filter.

The company that makes the ford 6.0 fuel and oil filters is called racor. So basically it gives you 3 options to get "factory" filters. Racor, international and ford. Diesel filters online I believe has then pretty cheap. But to specifically awnser the question yes the filters oil, fuel and tranny are unique and need factory replacements. Searching will give you enough discussion as to why

Buy them from International they're way cheaper. I buy a box at a time, and usually get them for around $30 a set.

A lot of the aftermarket fuel filters don't have the water membrane on the lower filter to separate water out of the fuel.

I have a good friend that works at ford parts dep. I get them at 5% over ford cost. it's like $40, each, but do you know the web site you order from? I just got the fuel filters yesterday, but I need a tranny filter. thanks for the info.
