FILTER

New Oil Filter Requirements for Ford and Lincoln Vehicles

Protection for Today’s Longer Service Intervals

• It is critical that the oil filter performs properly during the entire oil service interval
• Ford Motor Company contributed to the development and creation of the USCAR-36 Oil Filter Specification
• The Society of Automotive Engineers adopted the new specification as SAE USCAR-36
• All Motorcraft filters produced after January 1, 2017 are aligned with SAE USCAR-36 specification

High Performance Features that Help Keep Engines Safe

• Anti-drain back valves to help prevent dry starts
• Anti-drain back valves that are made of silicone provide greater cold/heat resistance (down to -75 and up to +450 degrees F)
• Pressure relief valves help maintain supply of oil to the engine under extreme cold conditions or if the filter gets clogged
• Location of relief valve in the majority of Ford application filters prevents settled debris from entering and potentially damaging the engine

Designed to be Tough

• Large filter media area provides optimum filtering efficiency throughout the oil change cycle
• All Motorcraft oil filters are subjected to extensive testing to ensure they work as designed throughout the oil change cycle
