Best Oil/Fuel Filters

[JapanABC]

Kind of off topic but nevertheless.

Mir may Circuit na wiper blades na parang Japann quality din. Comparable with bosch counterpart na mga P100+ per piece. Ibang company kaya may gawa nito? I'll take a picture. Sometime red sometimes blue with transparent part plastic ang packaging nila. But defintely not hise china type na brown recycled paper yung back then clear plastic yung front nang package.

You could also search Circuit Automotive Technologies sa various search engine if meron talagang company na ganyan sa Japan.

So far as FORD is concern, Motorcraft for average use.

Is it better than the FoMoCo fuel filter?

Aren't they the same?😧 FOMOCO and Motorcraft both nakalime up sa Ford Casa and even in my owner's manual it states the following:

REPLACEMENT PARTS
RECOMMENDATION
Your vehicle has been built to the highest
standards using quality parts. We
recommend that you demand the use of
genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts
whenever your vehicle requires scheduled
maintenance or repair. You can clearly
identify genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts
by looking for the Ford, FoMoCo or
Motorcraft branding on the parts or their
packaging.

Motorcraft is Ford's second brand aside from its Genuine products. Motorcraft is sold to the aftermarket. This is not my comment I just quoted someone from USA who is working for a Ford dealer -> "I work at ford and their all the same parts, but I must say they update parts and numbers all the time, sometimes changing the price of the part too. As a dealer we get kick backs from ford for selling genuine ford parts, and we get a discount from our motorcraft vendors, so the only difference I can think of is with the dealer, if your paying more for (OEM Genuine ford part) your most likely paying more because they got you with the fancy wording"

But I'm not also saying that you should stick to Motorcraft, if you want there are other choices like WIX & AC Delco for average use, Royal Purple & K&N are premiums. Bosch Premium which is being sold in the US market is outsourced and is made by FILTECH USA but FILTECH USA is owned by Toyo Roki Japan the biggest OEM manufacturer of filters in Japan but the company does not sell to the aftermarket.

This the BOSCH Premium for the US domestic market, not Southeast Asia.
