Wix or Motorcraft Fuel Filters

[bigstumpyd]

I change my fuel filters every year and the guy at o rileys says to use wix instead of motor craft! Getting everyones opion

Wix fuel filters $84.99
motorcraft $49.99 price seems kind of wierd to me also

X 2... The wix doesn't have it. The membrane is the water separator jacket. Also spending $85 on the wix filters is nuts. Fleetfilters.com has NAPA gold (made by wix, exact same filter) for about $42 for the set.

In that case just buy OEM motorcraft or Racor (who makes the OEM filters for Ford).
