Default Motocraft Oil Filters.

Hey all.

I just bought a motocraft oil filter and this one is made in Thailand. The last one i bought which was fours months ago was made in Australia. Is there just ONE type of motocraft oil filters or is there a couple to choose from, eg premium etc...??

I believe only one from motorcraft. Filter manufacturers have them made all over the world depending on world prices at the time. Ryco for eg. have them made in South Africa, New Zealand, Asia etc etc.

I know Motorcraft filters in the US are actually made by purolater, not sure if that applies in Australia though

Bought mine from Ford last Friday and the box (just had a look at it) said that the filter is made in Australia. So their are either two versions or this was old stock and the new ones are now made in Thailand.
