🔧 Enhance Engine Efficiency with Motorcraft EC-781 Standard Oil Filler Breather Cap Review

Perfect fit. I had to change the horrible oil cap at the oil change station. Had no idea they threw away my stock cap and gave me a high filter combo with a Wix filter cap. In the meantime I will change the oil myself knowing I have the correct cap and engine filter. It was the best price and worth knowing it fits the truck.

Tip. Use an OEM oil filter, I don't care if the aftermarket for the 6.0 has gotten better over the years. If you're going to spend money on someone making your oil, bring a Motorcraft filter and insist they use an OEM filter. I bought it after seeing the owner before me use an aftermarket filter.

This allows more oil to pass through the bypass filter and return unfiltered to the engine. On the 6.0 Powerstroke (and to a lesser extent on the 7.3 Powerstroke), clean oil is directly related to engine life because the

I have an 03 f350 with a 6.0L engine, my hfcm cover (fuel filter/pump assembly on the driver's side frame rail) has a broken plastic nut and I needed a new one. I've searched the entire web for ap/n and found nothing. Eventually I stumbled across a forum that said the oil filter cap is the same as the hfcm cap from 6.0. So I bought it, it threads well, no leaks, 40 Nm (18.5 ft/lb) of torque on the cap matches the instructions for installing the fuel filter, conveniently the same as the oil…
