Details on the FTF Engine Oil Filter Product Line

The FTF Engine Oil Filter line by Denso focuses on element-type filters that provide essential filtration without additional valve features such as anti-drain back or bypass relief valves. This design suits applications where the engine’s oil system does not require these valves, ensuring compatibility and proper fitment for specific vehicle models.

Technical Description and Fitment

The Denso 150-3030 oil filter features a paper filter media that efficiently traps dirt and debris from engine oil, helping to protect engine components from wear. With a height of 68.0 mm and gasket dimensions of 78.0 mm inside diameter and 85.0 mm outside diameter, this filter is engineered to fit securely in the oil filter housing. It is compatible with various Ford, Mazda, and Mercury models including the Ford Escape, Fusion, Mazda 3, 5, 6, CX-7, and Mercury Mariner, Milan, and Tribute. The absence of an anti-drain back valve and bypass relief valve indicates it is intended for engines designed to operate without these features.
