POWERSTROKE OIL FILTER FAILURE

[@cam32112]

Another great video from Bill & Mike. I will NEVER understand why people don't use OEM parts when servicing their Ford trucks. PM is the single most important thing you can do to get the most out of your Ford Powerstroke so why would you cut corners or use substandard parts?

[@ElectronsOnly]

I can speak from experience on this. The shop i worked at is pretty busy and the nearest NAPA was only about a mile away, but the nearest Ford dealer was over 10, and we didn't have the time to run all over the place just for vehicle parts.

[@caterpillar6nz310]

very true

[@roofermarc1]

I like how bill says mikey is gonna scold us and Bill won't shut up and let Mikey say want he needs to say. Love you bro.

[@mickeyfarmer9217]

Maybe so but Mikey is kinda quiet natured and Bill needs to prompt him at times. Personally I like the combo of the two and the humor is better with both of them in the video. Mikey is a good sideman for Bill.

[@scottyvincent]

I have a 2003 7.3 and I love these informational videos. Thanks!!

[@floydwilliams3321]

We actually ran into that in an 08 truck nobody could figure out why it wouldn’t run and whenever you did get it to run after it would sit for a while it wouldn’t start finally found somebody who knew those trucks and that’s what he said had the wrong oil filter on it and we’re all pretty good mechanics we had no clue that that was even a thing that’s a good video man

[@robertdilullo6765]

Great video. Years ago I did the same thing. Ran it 100k then learned about the cap and filter. Changed it years ago and truck is still running great. 330k.I don't know if I just got lucky but everything is good. Thank you.

[@markwalters2217]

My early 04 that I bought new now has 258k and still runs great. The info in this video has been out for years by both Bill and Diesel tech Ron telling people to use OEM parts on these engines if you want to avoid unnecessary headaches.

[@timgring4121]

I am very happy that my 6.7 has a good ol’ spin on oil filter now. I always use OEM filters on anything, from my Ford to my zero turn

[@drfernandogarcia7988]

When I bought my first 6.0 I watched a lot of you and Anthony from super duty service the sheer amount of info kept my truck running 3 years strong now as a daily driver never a no start cold or hot.

[@farmtruck9414]

I only use Motorcraft filters on my Ford Trucks, AC Delco Filters on my Gmc Trucks. Good info to check the parts on the stand pipe. Thanks for the video.

[@claytondaniel7832]

I have followed your advice on this for many years. Thanks to you my truck have been working great. I don’t run synthetic. I have always used Mobil Delvac 15w-40. Even in the winter.

[@georgehenry3384]

Always a mountain of information! Greatly appreciate your videos!!!

[@mdevidograndpacificlumbera1539]

It will be a sad day when you guys stop making videos. Love y'all. Ps , throw us 7.3 guys a fricken vid every now and then, LOL

[@stevenvanheel3932]

I run into this CONSTANTLY on the 6.4’s and 6.0’s that come into the shop. I always replace them with a Dorman OE style oil filter cap and a Motorcraft oil filter. I also use a yellow paint pen and write “MOTORCRAFT FILTERS ONLY” on the cap. Customers are pissed when their oil change costs $45 more then it does when they put their crappy wix filters in there and I always tell them that they will be very happy to spend the $40 now instead of spending the $8000 later to pull the cab and put a new engine in their truck.

[@Midnight_Rider96]

Glad the 6.7 went to a screw on! Way harder to screw up

[@swashington942]

Yeah cause you got a lot of emission problems and def to worry about.

[@warrenself]

The great 7.3 and now 6.7 keep the classic spin on filter. If you’re going to run a 6.0 or 6.4 just stick with Motorcraft everything and ensure you have the correct cap. Some people like the Wix/Napa/Pro-Tec one piece cap+filter but there’s videos of those coming apart online so I can’t recommend that.

[@txnrik]

Thank you Mike

[@mjMiller212121]

Glad to see this content. Good job on the video! Just another instance of aftermarket parts used incorrectly that result in unintended consequences of making 6.0 engines look bad. 6.0 is the best engine out there for light trucks once the initial engineering mistakes are corrected. No exhaust fluid , no DPF. Bill's tried and tested solution at PowerStrokeSpecialty is the most resilient on the market.

[@scottyvincent]

That is why I hunted down a low mileage 2003 96k, 7.3, NO EMISSUONS, DEF and parts are available at reasonable $$$$. Use Ford parts, no worries.

[@saulflores8050]

The frustrating part is that if you bought a 6.0 assuming that your oil filter cap is an OEM and it’s not. As a consumer you’re thinking you’re doing the right thing by purchasing an OEM filter and causing issues not operating as it was designed by FORD engineers.

[@stinger4583]

Thanks, guys. I like these videos. Good info. from a trusted source.

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

I like it. I got a used truck for half price because the oil light was on. Replaced with all Ford oil filter parts and restored the value when the light went off.

[@fredmatic33]

Great insight guys, and as always, thanks for sharing.

[@tomnorthcutt4754]

you can thank stupid lawyers for that lol

[@BassheadGTP]

Daniel from Daniel Jager Films made a vid about this when he came across the same issue. When it comes to cartridge filters OEM !!!!

[@timl9495]

Hi Bill: I don't think I have ever seen you talk about oil. I have a 2017 6.7 Power stroke. Normally I have been putting in full synthetic oil 5w40. I am really wondering if I should just use non synthetic oil, like Motorcraft 15W40. Ford shows both oils for 2011-2021. Since you have been working on Ford SD's for years, do you ask what customers have been using and what you have found over the years as the SD expert? I would be curious to know. Synthetic is twice as much, so am I just throwing my money away paying the extra $$$

[@williambush7971]

I've got a 7.3 and a 6.7. Neither has had anything but Rotella oil and Motorcraft filters. 7.3 has 400K and runs like a top.

[@williambush7971]

Exactly the same here. The 7.3 has 400K.

[@roncoburn1103]

My old truck 1997, have allways used a ford filer or a baldwin.

[@atlantaswelder]

My number 1 improvement to my 6.0s is Increasing my IDEL SPEED by 100+ rpms and adding a mechanical oil gauge. Prior to, id come off an exit ramp and watch my oil press drop into the teens or lower 😳 now it never gets below 20psi no matter the heat. : FYI I use a SCT programmer to adjust my idle speed and i also run a mechanical fuel gauge 👊

[@supertrenty]

I've tried upping my idle with my SCT X4 on my 6.0 but it doesn't seem to actually up it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@fastinradfordable]

Anything over 15-10psi hot is ok

[@Lray4x4]

Cartridge filters are an ignorant design to begin with, glad they went back to a regular style oil filter on the 6.7.

[@matthewglasser8310]

I can spot an aftermarket 7.3 fuel filter cap a mile away. I’m critical about OEM filters for reasons like this. A have an 02 7.3 f250 my mom bought new , I did nearly all the maintenance on it until I started trucking in 2011 , my mom ended up taking it to her “trusted “ mechanic where they changed the fuel filter with an aftermarket filter and cap . I didn’t know it till I went to change it with an OEM I bought, that’s when I found out I had to go buy a Ford filter cap ( cost as much as the filter ) I was pissed .

[@floydwilliams3321]

Why would somebody switch the cap if it comes with the cap and filter as a assembly I know stuff happens but that just seems absolutely stupid to do that

[@Joshua.Muenchow]

Filters are the only thing I STRICTLY use OEM. Don’t get me wrong I try my best to get OEM for everything but of course it isn’t always financially reasonable. But filters I always go OEM. But I have a 7.3 and it’ll run no matter what!😂

[@chipps1066]

so this was the navistar 6 ltre and not the ford 6.7?

[@bobbyfoster1417]

Everytime I use aftermarket I've paid for it Motorcraft all day everyday

[@tacticaltechie]

You know what... I had a 6.0 for a long time and it was basically all stock I just kept up on it. Put a lot of work into to get everything fixed and restored. I had this weird long start issue sometimes and we could never figure it out. Everything was perfect... I am wondering if I had an aftermarket cap on it all those years and was just using the OEM filter and never knew this. I wish I could go back and look now haha damn it my OCD wants to know!

[@Cats181]

So the aftermarket is more material So better filter?

[@greg6point771]

Use stock parts for oil filters… got it

[@joeyf504327]

yikes, that's a major failure point that's easy to make!

[@nickestrada355]

You guys are awesome, good information!!

[@timl9495]

So is that on the 6.0 's. My 6.7 uses a one piece screw on.

[@warrenself]

6.0 and 6.4.

[@jamierpm]

Parker racor is the manufacturer for Ford it’s got those exact patent #

[@salmonaco007]

I own a 6.0 and a 7.3 that 6.0 filter is a eroupean crap design that cartridge is more costly than a 7.3 metal filter that is 10 times the wieght international WTF were ya thinking

[@warrenself]

There’s conversion kits to run a 6.7 filter on a 6.0. A guy I used to work with had it.

[@acow9966]

Its not like its a bad design or a wrong way of doing it. Just different is all. In europe where all oil filters are like this, I'm sure its a known thing to look out for.

[@zrt500]

Thank you for your information videos. 👍

[@KendrasEdge757]

So What is this on a 6.0 or 6.4? My 6.7 gets oem ford oil filters and fuel filters. Anything fuel, oil, or sensor related gets ford oem, no question. Some things you just need to use oem and these diesels almost require it.

[@n10cities]

Both. 6.7 nor 7.3 affected.

[@drfernandogarcia7988]

The screw ons are much better. But knowing to use the OEM cap with filter is good knowledge.

[@desolategrey]

6.4

[@garcjr]

Navistar shadowed a European diesel company in making the 6.0 (for emissions) which is why it's overly complicated.

[@timl9495]

Nevermind. I see it's for the 6.0

[@williamparker6649]

Thank you👍

[@danielbarros8136]

Hey bill are you looking for mechanics?

[@hotrod6919]

I just fixed a cold start issue a week ago that i've been chasing for over a year, That lil fuckin anti drain back looked good and seemed to test fine but it was draining just enough to not see but still cause a long cold crank.

[@autodiyfix7462]

Hello, How to contact this channel admin？

[@brucerushing3212]

Great info

[@jackhobock]

What’s the best filters for the 7.3

[@davem3789]

Spin on filters (from the bottom) should be required by law. It is the best way hands down. Look at the 7.3 filter (fl-1995) which you can still get for under $10. Why make stuff more complicated/expensive?

[@PremiumFuelOnly]

Its like inkjet printers. The company makes money on consumables.

[@jeremymurphy7320]

Man.....I have a 2014 Fusion with the 2.5 4 banger and I only use Motorcraft oil & filters on it. If I have a 6.7 PSD you can damn sure bet I'm using Ford parts.

[@DeltaSierra181]

What engine is this for?

[@n10cities]

6.0 and 6.4

[@Scott_From_Maine]

What a mess!

[@heathneumann9898]

What model power strokes have this type of filter in? I have a 15 with spin on filter.

[@n10cities]

The older 6.0 & 6.4 engines. Those engines were designed by Renault for Navistar.

[@aaronmcdaniel5893]

First to comment Have a good day gentlemen

[@tirbomax]

hrrrmmmmm...wonder if my shitbox has this issue...gonna have to go look now,dammit mikey!

[@porkchop359]

This is not a 7.3 it ain't gonna be alright🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@silntklr]

What year? Doesn't look like my 19 oil filter.

[@n10cities]

6.0 and 6.4 powerstroke. 6.7 and 7.3 use the normal spin-on filter.
