How to Find Good Ford Oil Filter

Why Aftermarket Oil Filters Can Cost You Money

Certain aftermarket oil filters have a permanently attached filter housing cap that can lead to some serious problems for your Power Stroke Diesel:

1. Dirty oil entering the engine, which can cause fuel injector damage

2. Fit and filtration problems

3. Increased maintenance costs

About Motorcraft

Motorcraft’s patented 6.0L & 6.4L oil filter snaps into a reusable filter housing cap . The filter is disposed of at each oil change interval, while the Original

Equipment (OE) cap is reused. Motorcraft’s patented design has key advantages over the competition:

- Complete filtration of engine oil, which ensures high performing fuel injectors and long engine life.

- Motorcraft filters are the only filters guaranteed to fit and function properly on your Power Stroke Diesel engine.

- Reduced maintenance costs when reusing OE filter housing cap.

When oil change retailers install their aftermarket filter with an affixed filter housing cap, they discard the OE filter and OE filter-housing cap. When that happens

customers are faced with a decision at their next oil change. Do they:

- Continue to use an aftermarket filter that can damage the fuel injectors and engine?

Or…

- Purchase an OE filter housing cap?

Obviously, the right decision is to purchase a new oil filter housing cap. This one-time cost allows you to once again use the Motorcraft filter that is patented for your Power Stroke Diesel vehicles.

In order to know that your Ford Power Stroke Diesel is being taken care of, use Ford motorcraft filters at every maintenance interval.

Super Hero "Midget" Iron Man

A Tiny Giant, that is how I describe this Toy. The picture of the product advertised resembled a superman. I thought this toy would be the perfect Christmas gift for my nephew. But wait! When I received this item in the mail I thought.... what a trickery. The toy was the size of a just conceived embryo in its mother's wound. Certainly not the 'superman' image that I perceived.

The toy measured 3 inches long by 2.5 inches wide and weighed about 1 ounce. The armor worn by this superman image was knee high boots, breast plate vest, large hand gloves, a helmet and a trunk all of which were red in color. I was too embarrassed to give this miniature toy as a Christmas gift, so I kept it for myself. I found it fascinating that the both hands and head of this 'midget' iron man could spin around 360 degrees. This meant that the turning of the head and hands in different directions changed the posture and appearance of this iron man toy. Therefore, the 'iron man' could appear to be in a fighting mode, a surrender mode or even in a peaceful loving mode.

Despite the small size of the toy, it possessed amazing features which inspired me to look at life differently. The message was "do not take things at Face Value". In conclusion, the quote for today would be "Do not judge a book by its cover".
