Reload this Page Is this true re 2005 Expedition?

Ford Expedition True expeditions require additional transportation conveyances: horses, boats, cars, for example. With a towing capacity around 9,000 pounds, the Ford Expedition can tow any of these. Ford adds a new top end King Ranch model for 2008, as well as an available rear backup camera and power-retractable running boards. The Expedition is meant for utility, not posing.

Default Is this true re 2005 Expedition?
Can it possibly be true that a non-ford oil filter can damage the cam shaft position sensors? If that's true where is it documented?
Our dealership is telling us our extended warranty won't cover fixing the sensors because we didn't use ford oil filters with check valves.

Usually non-Ford brand parts may be substituted if they meet "Ford specifications".

Tell the dealer you want to speak directly to someone from Ford Motor Company about the warranty claim and call the 800 number listed in your owners manual.

I also call "BS".

Though I only use Motorcraft filters on my wife's '99 Expedition. The quality is 2nd to none.

No it's not true. They are lying to you just so you can buy a ford oil filter. Now about the extended warranty, read your warranty paper work. I'm pretty positive he is lying to you. Call up ford company, not a stealership and verify it.

That oil filter "study" is pretty much bogus (in my opinion).

Here's the counter argument to every point the guy makes

Oil Filter "study" Don't believe everything you read
