Motorcraft FL1A. it's just a Purolator filter that is white and says ford on it. I think it's cheaper than the Purolator branded one.

Sorry to ask so many questions but can you get the motorcraft filters from an autozone or checker? Or do you have to get them from the dealership?

Nice engine 65StangBoy. Wix would be another good oil filter, I paid $6 for it. There supposed to be one of the best.

What filters do you guys suggest. We just threw it on there because it looks better than the dented blue painted one. Our explorer takes the same one so I can just use that one on it.

From my personal experiences, I ended up using Mobil1 or K&N oil filters as they seem to keep the oil physically cleaner. I do have an 8 quart sump that might help in that department also.

Purolator Pure One for me. Frams are always bashed on, but I have used the on my daily driver since new with mobil1 w/o any trouble. It has 195k on it and oil was change every 8000 -10000 miles. It still uses less than a quart between oil changes (8 -10k) which seems acceptible. I now use pure one's and the oil seems to look clean longer. Oh, I like the vacuum operated oil sending unit.

why are y ou carbing it and not going for EFI? EFI has tons of advantages, and i thought that by 91 all engines were efi anyway....

I'll go EFI eventually. Just dont have the time or money right now.

use Motorcraft, Puralator, or Wix. Frams are of the AntiChrist.
