The wrong oil filter bought on Amazon destroyed my engine

[txquailguy]

Dude! So sorry for your loss.....but please don't ever trust anyone or anything when it comes to "does it fit" It's either OEM or you are savvy enough to know without a doubt what you have. We can all fall into the "I bought it and it does not fit" from amazon and the like category, but when we are talking major components like an oil filter.....TRUST NOTHING! Honestly, you should be running a F-910S Motorcraft and nothing else....IMHO..... They are available at most national auto parts retailers. (Wix filters are good in a pinch).

What about the FL-400s that they use on the broncos? aftermarket spec for the equiv 910 and 400 are the same with the 400 just having more filter media.

I use the 400S. Great filter and a little bit more capacity. 6.5 quart change using it.

Be it Ford, Jeep, Toyota. I only kept the Fl1a sized filter on the shelf for decades it fit every car,truck,van we had growing up . Even fits law tractors.

I wouldn't put a Fram on my garden tractor if I had one.

How do you cut your grass). I also need a longer foot rest.

The orange can of death are trash. Xg line has been cut open on BITOG that line has been given the thumbs up. Also they love super tech oil and filters.

I have a battery walk behind, my yards not that big. Besides my Dr. says I need the exercise.

I, too, have a tiny, roughly 2,000 sq ft yard (est). Have a 23yo Black & Decker electric mulching mower that still works great, along with 125 ft of power cord.

Problem is I'm longer able to perform much physical labor and have to rely on unreliable contractors. Usually mow, trim and blow off surfaces and gone within 20 minutes. $50 is the normal charge anymore.

Current guy started off good (they all do), started doing crappy work, then failed to show on the scheduled date - thinking he'll be gone shortly. Rinse and repeat for about 5 years now.

I was so frustrated with the previous guy I went out with my 'Sparky' to clean up his mess. Used the mower to hold myself up - took nearly half of the remaining day to complete what I had started.

Enough of that. I love the electric mowers - just don't try to mow tall and/or damp grass.

Do we know yet which Fram part number the OP used?
