DON'T buy Fram oil filters! When I fitted it, couldn't help noticing the lack of pleats compared to the used Ford filter. I'd already drained the oil so had to fit it.
No way was that staying in for 12 months!

Here are some alternatives; Oil and filter change – Mann-Filter HU711/51x / Motorcraft AFL98 / Ryco R2663P / Hengst E44D110 / Mahle OX 339/2 D Eco
The OEM Filter is difficult to source as Ford generally use the Motorcraft AFL98 for servicing. However is should be one of the following; 6C1Q6744AA 1373069 / 6C1Q6744BA 1717510 / 3M5Q6744AA

The same people supplied oil and air filters; the air filter was a Hengst and looked like a high quality product. The Ryco oil filter looks fine, I'd say at least as good as the Motorcraft, but definitely was not not Supercheap!
I hadn't bought a Fram for years and thought they might have sorted their ***** out by now. But not by the look of the one that I was supplied. Beware.
