  Adapter, Adapter Oil Filter

• Description:

  This genuine Ford oil filter adapter, cataloged as the oil filter adaptor, is the housing that mounts the spin-on engine oil filter to the block and routes oil through the filter on Ford's 4.6L Romeo SOHC modular V8. It provides the threaded filter mount and the passages that direct oil into and out of the filter, and it carries the sealing surfaces where the adapter meets the block. It fits the 4.6L V8 in the 1992-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 1991-2011 Lincoln Town Car, and 1992-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis. Owners replace this adapter when its gasket or O-ring seals fail and it seeps or leaks oil around the filter area, when the mating surface is damaged, or when the housing is cracked or stripped. A leaking adapter is a common source of persistent oil drips that appear to come from the filter but actually originate at the adapter-to-block seal. Because it is the genuine Ford component it matches the block port pattern and filter thread exactly, so it seals correctly and locates the filter in the factory position. When installing, always fit new seals and a clean gasket, clean the block mating surface thoroughly, and torque the adapter fasteners evenly to the Ford specification to avoid distortion and leaks. Prime or pre-fill the new oil filter where practical and check for leaks after the first run. Using the correct OEM adapter avoids the fitment and sealing issues common with substitute housings.
