That video might be a sale pitch, but I think everyone can learn something from it. You just have to be smart enough.

Thats what I was trying to get across. Personally I don't care where you buy your filters. I would buy OE if I was servicing my truck but to each their own. If the aftermarket filter does not match up perfectly in every way I would not even remotely consider using it.

I'm going to re-exam the OEM and the new purolator. I didn't know how the Base bypasses and such worked. so it taught me something, if nothing else other than how the oil flows through and all that stuff in the housing. I did catch one thing that worries me... the inner tube might be restrictive b/c of how much oil the 6.0 flows... I have a pureOne and it has the inner metal cage, makes me worry now. Time to change it anyway.
On a side note, when they were talking about the frame mounted fuel filter... and the Air notch. When you put that thing in, does that notch have to line up with something? or be on the top? b/c I just threw mine in...

If you push and turn the lower fuel filter in the housing until it seats, and then install the cap, you know its all the way in. It will stay in there. If it doesn't seat properly you can have issues.

Hmmm. Might take it out and re-install it for peace of mind.

Update on the oil filters. I changed my oil this weekend and went with a regular purolator. it's the SAME thing as the OEM Ford 2016 filter. Purolator and Ford are buying them from the same company. They had the same pleating, felt, height, and even same serial numbering system. IDENTICAL, but $5 cheaper.
