I just purchased a 97 with the 1700 super sprint engine. I want to use mobil 1 oil and filter. does any one know what filter # I should use? Thanks

Mine used a Unipart GFE 148, but that was in the UK. Not sure you could get that here...

Hi oldrolex,

 

I'm not positive about this, but I did a search using a 1980 Ford Fiesta which I believe used a 1600cc Ford Kent engine and came up with the following based on the K&N HP-2009:

 

Manufacturer Part Number

AC PFL400A

FRAM HP10

FRAM PH3600

FRAM PH5803

MOBIL1 M1209

MOTORCRAFT FL400A

MOTORCRAFT FL400S

PURO L20195

PURO L35098

WIX 51516

WIX 51762

 

The filters are usually interchangeable by thread size and o-ring dia, the only difference being the size of the filter body. The ones listed above should be about 3'' od. I believe the Ford engine has a 3/4-16 thread, but I don't remember the o-ring dia. Maybe one of the crossflow owners can confirm this.

 

Hope this helps,

Bruce
