There isn't a single oil filter part number for all 2011 Fusion models—the correct filter depends on the engine. The 2011 Fusion offered multiple powertrains, and Ford uses specific Motorcraft filters for each.
Engine options in the 2011 Fusion
To determine the right filter, first identify which engine your car has. The 2011 Fusion was available with several engines, including a four-cylinder, a V6, and (in hybrid models) the hybrid powertrain that pairs a 2.5L engine with electric assist.
Identify your engine to ensure you order the correct filter.
- 2.5L inline-4 Duratec (non-hybrid)
- 3.0L Duratec V6
- Fusion Hybrid (2.5L petrol engine paired with electric motor)
The exact oil filter number will vary by engine type. Always confirm with the engine code or VIN to ensure you purchase the correct filter for your specific 2011 Fusion.
How to verify the exact part number
Follow these steps to lock in the correct filter for your car:
- Check the current filter or its packaging for the Ford/Motorcraft part number stamped on it.
- Match your engine code or VIN to Ford’s official parts lookup or a trusted parts retailer’s cross-reference to find the exact Motorcraft number.
- If in doubt, ask a Ford dealer or use the Motorcraft filter finder with your VIN or engine code.
Using the engine code or VIN ensures you get the correct filter for your Fusion, avoiding fitment issues or leaks.
Summary
In short, the oil filter number for a 2011 Ford Fusion is engine-specific rather than universal. Identify whether your car has the 2.5L I-4, the 3.0L V6, or the hybrid powertrain, and then verify the exact Motorcraft part number through your VIN, the filter itself, or an official lookup tool. This approach guarantees you obtain the right filter for your particular vehicle.
