Motorcraft Oil Filters
Motorcraft oil filters are specifically designed for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Each filter, including the popular Motorcraft FL-1A, uses as many as 12 high-quality components. Choose the style designed for fitment on your vehicle. Construction features include: * Steel cases: "Ironed" for a precise fit, fluted to ease removal, and painted for rust resistance * Pressure relief valve: When it's cold outside, or if the filters become clogged, oil flow through the filters can be reduced. If this happens, the relief valve opens to provide a continuous oil supply. Its design also minimizes the chance of contaminated oil recirculating back * Anti-drainback valve: This feature keeps oil in the filters to prevent "dry starts" after your engine has been turned off. It's made with specially formulated materials that resist the aging effects that an engine's heat can cause * Efficient filter media: Re-engineered media increases Motorcraft filters' dirt-collecting capabilities, allowing them to capture more engine-harming particles than ever before

K&N Performance Gold Oil Filters
Get oil filtration that's as good as gold with K&N Performance Gold oil filters. Keep your engine free from contaminants as small as 10 microns. They use a resin-impregnated filter media to provide maximum filtering and an inner core to lend extra structural support to the filter, preventing filter collapse. Plus, many of these K&N oil filters have an anti-drainback valve (where applicable) that eliminates dry starts and prevents oil from draining back into the crankcase during engine shutdown. And they're protected by a heavy-duty outer shell that guards against rock and stone damage and provides over 550 psi hydrostatic burst strength. So, if you want golden-level oil protection, then you want K&N oil filters.
