Fitment Coverage

Compatible with many Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and Mercury Grand Marquis applications across model years 1991-2019. This seal also fits select Ford E-Series vans, Mustang, Crown Victoria, Town Car, Mountaineer, and related platform vehicles that use an engine-sided oil filter housing seal.

Elring 783.730 is used at the engine side of the oil filter housing to maintain a clean, secure seal between the housing and the engine block.

Part number 783.730 is a practical service part for technicians addressing oil seepage at the housing interface.

Common Problems This Seal Can Address

• Oil seepage around the oil filter housing
• Leaks at the engine-side sealing surface
• Wet residue near the housing after oil service
• Loss of sealing performance from an aged or flattened gasket
• Repeat leaks after housing removal and reinstallation

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the engine-sided sealing surface only. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before assembly, and inspect the housing and surrounding components for damage or contamination. Verify the application by year, make, and model before installation, especially on Ford E-Series, F-Series, Explorer, and Lincoln Navigator platforms.
