This high performance oil filter from Ford Racing features a heavy gauge base and canister for higher burst strength and impulse fatigue resistance. A synthetic - polymercellulose - fiber blend filter media offers up to 50 more filtering capacity then standard filters. The benefit to you is improved filtering efficiency and longer oil filter life when using either standard or synthetic motor oils. A high quality silicone anti - drain back valve prevents oil from escaping the filter when the engine is off. A non - stick sealing gasket makes for easier installation and removal.
