Re: Oil Change

I'm sure there are "fit-like" filters out there for the 6.0 already. I would avoid those. Racor makes the oil and fuel filters for Ford, and Ford puts them in a red and white box and charges outrageous prices for them. Racor takes the exact same filters, puts them in a white box, and sells them for 1/3 of what Ford does. Use those filters and you are using the *exact* filter that Ford will sell you. Same material, same quality, same manufacturer; it's the same filter!!

It appears that Racor also sells the filters to some online places who then "house brand" them and sell them for even less still. If it's the exact same filter (same patent numbers, same construction, etc.) and you're sure it's made by Racor then you should have no fears about using those filters and saving even more money. But please, whatever you do, do *not* buy them from Ford. It will only encourage them to continue to try to gouge us. Vote with your wallet.
