Illipah, the approved filter list for your (and my) 6.0 PSD is very short: Motorcraft. Period. The warranty requires you use Motorcraft filters, at least at this time. Ford says in the fine print that is because nobody else filters particles as fine as theirs. I could not tell you if that's accurate but that is what it says.

You can find the Motorcraft FL2016 oil filters in a very few Walmarts for around $17. Or you can buy the International version of the same thing (I've used these) for around $21. Or buy them from Ford for about $38 (that was over a year ago they charged that price).

Fuel filters I've not found anywhere but at Ford, although I've not checked in awhile. I got a "deal" of about 30% off by buying 3 at a time, so ask about that.

Hopefully one of these days someone will come out with a cheaper filter that meets the specs. I haven't even found what the specs are, though, although the info is probably available.
