the filter is designed to hold approx. 1 qt. of oil and obviously filter it before it goes back through the engine. I can't see how it could cause too much pressure, but I don't know for sure either. Advance Auto Parts computers in my area list the 6 cyl. filter for the duratec as working with the Zetec. I don't think so. I guess you really can't go by everything you read. Oh well, I guess I'll just stick with the Motorcraft filter or maybe I'll try the new Fram Z(?) filter.
