Ok. Its time to change the fuel filter in the truck. In my area I can locate 2 brands of filters. Purolator and Fram. My question is, which one should I go with. I thought that I read somwhere that Purolator isn't very good. I just wanted to see what everyone else was using before I bought anything. The difference between the 2 in price is about $1.50 with Fram being more expensive. Thanks in advance.

 

Brand name? Heard and used both, but generally oil filters. Just going off name, Fram is probably the bigger and better of the two in my opinion.

 

Purolator!! I just picked up a ton of mpg!

 

The purolator isnt bad but it is a bit smaller than the stock one.
I dont trust anything with fram on it.. its probably fine....but after seeing their regular oil filters with CARDBOARD end caps.... well...

Personally I'd buy one from www.rockauto.com :)

A WIX brand one (one of the better brands) is 22$ shipped
Also if you have a napa 99% chance they can get you a wix, baldwin, or hastings filter there.
Motorcraft brand about the same.
I do think they are worth the 10$ more than a purolator or fram.

That being said I ended up with a purolator..
It was probably 2/3 the volume of the motorcraft...
and the bracket stud broke off when i installed it.. i was tightening the nut by HAND and it broke totally off.. Next time when I change it. I am definitely
buying a premium brand one.

So you just changed your fuel filter and saved 'a ton' of mpg, that's good, how much, is that all you did?

 

I just put on a NAPA brand one today, easy to do with regular tools, pliers and screwdriver. We'll see what happens mpg wise.
