@tap42al WRONG WRONG WRONG maybe in other applications Wix is superior but NOT in the 6.0L PowerStroke. I have seen dozens of high pressure oil pumps destroyed when the WIX oil filter comes apart and gets sucked into the pump, costing the poor unsuspecting customer thousands of dollars because it is not covered under warranty. I have seen dozens of sets of fuel injectors destroyed by water allowed to pass the Wix filter. You run them on a 6.0L and you are just begging for problems.
a while back my friends 05 powerstroke had to get a high pressure pump on it because when he went to start it on morning it ran for a few seconds then died he got it to start and got one rev out of it and that was it
oh crap i just did what yer saying not to do yesterday frig i should watch more of yer videos and do you have any tips on egr delete i got one from sinister and now im not sure i want to put it in what do you think it came with a sct tuner
there is another big problem with thos junk filters. when people end up swtiching to that filter, and then they buy a differant one, the same size as the FORD one, and they keep the NAPA cap, it then alllows all the oil to drain back from the filter housing, causing low base oil pressure startups, or no starts
Saving a few dollars on oil and filters will cost you money. I worked for a time at Jiffy Lube. I quit because they always want you to try to get the customer to buy an extra part or service. Most of the time that stuff is not needed.
I have seen transmission fluid put into an engine, and engine oil put into a transmission. These folks have little training. If they make a mistake, they usually don't say anything. You find out later they messed up your car. Then they don't accept responsibility.
Its true ... use what came in your powerstroke ... it will run forever ! Oil filters are the liver of your engine oil is blood ... need i say more ? I have proof ! it cost me $4,800 for a new engine , im going after express oilchange for the damages
These filters with the cap is one of the stupidest things Ive ever seen. I used to work at WalMart changing oil and had someone come in with a F350 6.0 at about 7PM with one of these Wix filters. Well guess what, the Fram and Motorcraft filters we have reuse the stock cap. Being so late, nobody was open, so we had to reinstall the said Wix filter and give him a discount.
Im a diesel tech at a ford dealership and most times people get lucky with just a dead injector or 2. The filters and the caps be it napa, car quest, or wix, will screw with oil pressure something fierce. Those oil cooler filters are a joke, they rip and tear just from normal usage.
I would think that you could go after any manufacturer of the filter that caused something like this. After all, if he hadn't used their filter, the pump would not have become damaged.
I never, ever get my oil changed at a "warranty approved" lube and go place, always at the dealership. Then everything that's ever done to the truck is in their computers and if something goes wrong, they can pin point it and find out who and what is to blame.
Do you really want a weed smoking college drop out changing your oil?
Me neither. I have always gone to the dealer for scheduled maintenance on my 6.0. I don't trust those JiffyLube places. Their just out their trying to make money.
whatever a wix filter is way better than any oem filter

Lesson: no paper end caps!!
Also it looks like the filter was used too long. Just a guess though, cant tell from a video.

Some Ford carb kits had accelerator pump diaphragms that were not viton and cracked prematurely.
Vehicle would shoot black smoke like a bear.
Sorry for making a non-heavy duty comment.

Because of your 3F video, I'm going to be using O.E.M. filters and fluids from now on, and I drive gasoline-powered cars.
