Air Filter Question ????

[Blue Goose]

What are you guys paying for Motorcraft air filters? I'm rapidly approaching the 30,000 mile change interval and have been looking on ebay...

Been a while, but for a 6.0L its like $65.00/ea.

There are two kinds of air filters available for the 6.0L motor.

1) Blue media/filter - synthetic and water resistent (OEM)

2) White media/cellulose - not water resistent (Not OEM - Mainly WIX brand)

Both air filters are made my Donnalson and are their "Powercore" filtration and both meet Ford's spec for filtering the air, but the filter that is OEM and shipped with your truck is the high cost, blue, synthetic media filter.

I believe that the cost is around $65 - $70.00/ea for the blue synthetic air filter?

I don't know, I just take mine out, clean it, dry it and stick it back in. Oh, while it's off, yes Jeff, I check for dusting and oil in the intake tube on the MAF. No problem with either as of yet. And yes, I know, I'm still very low mileage.

You can get the blue one for $52 from Diesel Filters Online.
