I am pretty sure that after 30 odd years using the same filter, Ford changed it just before phasing the old inline 6 out!

The genuine part number is AFL 101. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/45802-oil-filters/#findComment-680905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

markxr6t Member 476 Member For: 20y 7m Location: Perth WA Posted 23/05/08 11:36 AM Share Posted 23/05/08 11:36 AM Nope. I put the AFL-1 (Ryco Z9) and AFL-101 side by side and they're different size and different thread. Not interchangeable in any way.Dunno why they changed it just before ending a 40 year tradition of having the same filter.....
