My mechanic likes these and recommends them on my SL6 specifically the FL-1A. Curious to know what you guys think and how it compares to the Wix and Napa Gold oil filters. Thanks, nico |

I used to run them on my Mustangs with no problems, although I never used one on a Slant something about Motorcraft (Ford) on a Mopar !? |

I use the FL1-A on my slant and have for many years. No oil pump stand pipe. I get immediate oil pressure on start-up. Mitch |

FL-1A is usually a decent filter, certainly better than Fram. But not as good as the Wix 51806/NAPA Gold 1806 with its built-in standpipe. |

The only filter I've ever had fail was a Motorcraft. Your results may vary. |

Thankyou very much for the replies. He is nice enough to keep them in stock (he doesn't have many slant six customers) and I can get an oil change done very quickly if I dont have time to change it at my house so I don't mind using the motorcraft. nico |

Uhh...he's not being "nice" to you by keeping those in stock. They're used on a whackload of Ford, Chrysler, and other-make vehicles built over the last forty-five years. He's trying to get you to accept what he has in stock rather than go to the trouble of ordering in what you might prefer. |

I see your point, I will ask him to order the Wix filters and /or buy a few and take him the filter when I get an oil change done. Curious though, I when I look up a WIX oil filter online at auto parts stores such as Rock Auto I am told the WIX 51068 is the correct filter for my '72 SL6. I just bought a WIX 51806 at a local parts store with the built in standpipe. So what is the 51068? I do know that the 51515 is the no standpipe filter....Thanks for clearing this up for me....nico |

51068 is the shorter filter. No good reason to use it instead of the longer filter w/standpipe. |
