Engine options and typical oil filter numbers
The following overview lists common configurations and the widely used Ford/Motorcraft oil filter numbers associated with them. If your exact engine differs, cross-reference with Ford’s parts catalog or your VIN.

Diesel variants may use different filter part numbers or cross-reference options from other brands. Always verify the exact number for your vehicle using the VIN to account for regional production differences.
How to verify the correct oil filter part number
To ensure the right part is ordered, follow these steps:
- Gather your vehicle information: VIN, engine code, and market (country/region).
- Check Ford’s official parts catalog for your VIN or use a trusted parts retailer’s lookup; the catalog will list the exact Motorcraft part number for your vehicle.
- Cross-check by comparing filter dimensions and thread size if you have an existing filter on hand.
- If in doubt, contact a Ford dealer or independent shop with access to the Ford parts database and provide your VIN.
Using a VIN-based lookup ensures you receive the precise part number that matches your engine variant and regional production.
