FL400 Oil filter

[Langwilliams]

I couldn't find a FL 910S at Autozone or walmart. I have a FL400 left over from my ford focus days but I didn't use it since I wasn't sure it'd be ok. I had to go with A Fram Ultra. I read the Fram ultra is a good filter much better than the orange can of death. I was at 6K on my oil an didn't want to wait any longer for the 910s to come in. Just wondering if anyone else had trouble getting ford filters. If I can't find one for the next oil change I may go Napa Gold.

I hit the local walmart like 3 times a week for a month while moving either getting stuff for the new place or to take care of something in the old one an they never came in. I never think to order from wally world since I usually hit it weekly.

it is hit and miss around here. They were in stock for quite a while. The last couple of months, nothing. So I ordered them. 3.97 online

I just saw this thread so I am sort of going away from the current topic of availability.... but...

It is a 2.3 engine that already contains 6.2 quarts of oil. I think it has enough capacity.

Ill go with the best filtration to protect the hot angry snail on the other side of the motor over a bit more oil.

I am in the camp of no on any cheap filter; reguardless of name brand or if a non-turbo motor has run them for 300k. Ill save that money by skipping on an energy drink or something.

I can't find any FL-910's around here anywhere either. Bought a Supertech last time. The oil nerds at www.BobIsTheOilGuy.com say Supertech is perfectly fine for normal use. I go 5000 miles. NAPA Gold is a good filter too.

Fram Ultra or Tough Guard are okay filters but no better than a Motorcraft and cost more.
Wally Mart store brand Supertech is a perfectly fine filter, I've uses them when I can't get an FL-910S.
I'd buy a Mobil 1 or K&N before I'd buy any Fram though.
At Wally Mart the K&N for my wife's Chrysler minivan actually costs a bit less than the Mopar filter.
NAPA Gold is also a very good filter. Made by Wix, so if you run into a Wix it's the same thing.

Now that I'm a parts driver for a ford dealership I'll probably just buy them at work!

If it fits it ships

To answer OP's question, I've been using the FL-400S for about two years now, usually the Mobil 1 equivalent M1-209A. It's slightly larger but since it's longer it's easier to reach.
