Mileage vs time for parts replacements

No, that would be impossible for me to investigate. Just trying to be helpful. Don't buy them if you have that concern.

Let me rephrase so that it doesn't feel like I am somehow impugning your character (that was not my intent):

I have been reading about counterfeit filters for other cars, specifically GT500's. Due to this, I might be worried that an eBay purchase or even an Amazon 3rd party purchase (where one owner bought his fake oil filter) may not provide you with an authentic Motorcraft filter.

I’ve pretty much stopped buying crap from Amazon. If the Amazon page doesn’t say where it’s made, then it’s from China. I’ve discussed in other threads the problems with car parts from China. So I only buy brands that I trust, and usually directly from the website of the seller. Or I buy locally.

The filters I got from Advance/Carquest (No. 42572) were explicitly labeled "Made in USA" on each filter.

Good move.

For a lot of reasons.
