consul315 172 Posted October 29, 2019 in case you want the old style look without disposal sign, though reading Escort MK1/2 i fear it might get pricey? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ESCORT-MK1-RS2000-MK2-RS2000-MK2-MEXICO-EFL-90-MOTORCRAFT-OIL-FILTER-NEW/153699554716?hash=item23c935159c:g:HWoAAOSwxORdtIts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhiaMk4/5 206 Posted October 29, 2019 That's not a bad price, compared to some sellers, just don't fit Fram, and l thought they were meant to be good filters!! Think they have been costed and skimped on the most important bit, the element quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've not bought a Fram filter for a couple of years but never had an issue with them, what's the problem with them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a few videos about, showing what is in them, or in the case of Fram, what isn't in them, think they are still relying on there name to sell themselves, my relation has an artic lorry body full of the good old Fram filters which are really top quality, the new ones are made possibly in China.

The place I used to get Fram filters stopped selling them, instead they started selling Wix. I was sceptical because I hadn't heard of them but turns out they've been on the go for a while.

GhiaMk4/5 206 Posted November 2, 2019 Wix are very good, Maccess, are a trade car parts supplier that have been stocking these for 15 years or so now. Just wouldn't look right under the bonnet of a nice Cortina though!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
