2007 Mustang V6-Oil filter question

yuksaro · 06-02-2009

Hey I own a 2007 V6 and lately I've been hating to pay for the oil changes so I finally decided to do it myself. I have all the tools required to do the job except knowing what type of oil filter to use. I know where my oil filter is located but since its in a tough spot I cant see what PH number it is. Can anyone let me know?

Welcome to AFM and the forums. i mostly use motorcraft filters, ph something is a fram filter which i use sometimes too. i change my oil so much, any name brand filter will work. its like asking what kind of oil to use. you`ll get alot of different answers, or spark plugs. just use a major brand and not brand x and you`ll be fine. every auto parts has a book by the filters to look up all your filters. fram-ph2 motorcraft-fl820s

Motorcraft are good filters, Fram filters are

pretty lousy.

i`m not buying it. ive changed oil for 37 yrs and ive never had a problem like that guy did, esp if he really changed his oil every couple thou. a hand tight filter does not take 3 wrenches to get it off and busting it apart. and it sounded like he used the last one from a case his grandfather bought god knows when that sat around in his damp garage. i still prefer motorcraft ford parts for my ford, but i`ll use the fram if motorcrafts are out of stock.

I buy My motorcraft filters at Walmart. They have a book there that you can look up the proper filter. If you ever have an issue with your car,They can see that you have a Motorcraft filter on it.
