If you take the oil filter housing off, you can see the oil filter "Tube" sticking up.
If you remove the tube, you have to take out 3 screws...the 1 is directly mounted to the tube...the other 2 screws are holding down a small aluminum piece that has a spring loaded poppet valve...there is also a bigger poppet style rubber valve beside it.
There can I get one of these?
Ford says you can not buy them as a serviceable item, so you have to buy the whole filter base....and at $430.00 I said I would just flip them over, and use them again.
Problem is they are quite worn, and I would like new ones...
Here is a picture of what I'm taking about.
