Given that we now know that the Ford FL820S is made by Wix for Ford Canada, unlike the supposedly superior Purolator made filter they get in the US, has anyone found a good local source for these filters?

How about putting in a mass order to a US chain such as Pep Boys? I can try to pick up some up the next time I'm in Michigan (probably in a few weeks).

You know what really cheeses me off. I go to Canadian Tire and they have what looks like 4 different brands of Oil filter. Upon closer inspection: They are all made by the same company (whoever makes fram). The DoubleGuard has Teflon in it and we all that shouldn't be in an engine. Wix manufactured filters are what we get from Ford (thanks Chris) and most auto suppliers have them. The one oil filter review I've read puts the Fram stuff at the bottom. Wix about the middle, and the purolater at the top. Here's the link, though I'm sure most of you have it: http://members.nbci.com/minimopar/oilfilters.html

I've tried:
-Twin City (Wix)
-A UAP (Wix and UAP brand)
-HorsFall Auto/CarQuest (Wix and Carquest branded, they think it is a Wix)

I'm striking out too. Maybe Purolator is not available in Canada? http://www.pureoil.com/home.htm // Chris [This message has been edited by Chris Root (edited February 01, 2001).]
