Mike, is the K&N an oiled foam? I read where there have been problems with diesel engines because of people putting too much oil on the filter and it gets into the engine. I'm not sure what problems it causes.

Chuck, I don't know about the oil filter. I've been buying the Motorcraft FL-2016 at Walmart since I know it's authorized. I think the dieselmann site (he's a Ford Master Mechanic) still has a list of what is authorized but I'm not sure how current it is. http://www.intellidog.com/dieselmann/home.html
If I recall, there's also some info there about why only a few filters are authorized for maintaining warranty. It's been awhile since I've perused that part of the site.

Broome101, thanks for the link. I like that price much better. I've saved the link for when I'm ready to change the filter.
