bazooka Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I've allways used a ford oil filter on my transit,( today £13-50) a local mechanic told non ford filters are just as good at half the price what do are experts think.I change my engine oil twice a year as i intend keeping my 2004 Nu Venture Sorrento for a long time!

Guest peter Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Ford don't make filters. They are made for them by the likes of Fram. As long as you use a well known make it will be fine. Try your local motor factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The mechanic is right I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Agreed. Use official Ford parts while under warranty, once that's expired don't go near 'em, the prices are a rip-off. Reputable makes are just as good. Same goes for any other base vehicle make IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks everyone for your views,from now on I might as well save a few bob by not buying my filters from ford dealers.Ford also wanted £30 plus for 5L Morrisons £14-36 for 4L fully synthetic! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
