Oil filter for 2.9L V6
Discussion
Hi,
Please can someone help me out...I've always used a Fram PH2854 oil filter when servicing the S, however, these seem to have been withdrawn and Replaced with PH5660. I think the PH5660 is taller than the PH2854 at 74mm. Does anyone have experience using this filter or another brand? My usual motor factors can also get a Bosch alternative but this is 69mm tall, again I worry it may not squeeze in easily past the chassis. Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks,
Ralph

How tall is the Fram PH2854?
I've got the Mann 914/2 in my "little black book" but that is 69mm same as your Bosch alternative.
How about a Unipart GFE264, only 68.5mm

Hi Ralph
I bought one of these in June this year - as per phillpot's suggestion? Perfect price too!
It took a bit of wiggling to get it out, but I managed in the end

I gave my S (2.9) an oil and filter change this weekend. I've tended to use the Motorcraft EFL298 being a Ford part but seeing the price of the Mann W914/2 at ECP (£3.99!) I couldn't refuse. So fitted that yesterday and it fits fine, is identical in size/dimensions to the Motorcraft filter, and Mann are a quality brand.
