MMR oil filter canister replacement (2.7 engine)

[Chris21667]

Hello,

Is anyone using the MMR oil filter canister on the 2.7? Or is there another option, like the aluminum one on Amazon, that is a direct replacement for the plastic one, which broke the first time I changed the O rings?

That MMR housing is next on my list to replace the factory housing. There’s no way I’m trusting a made in China part with unknown materials. MMR is a good brand and they build modular Ford race engines.

Just installed the MMR. Solid fit, significantly sturdier than the OEM housing.

Swapping out the inner stem takes a gentle hand. Be careful not to break one of the 4 tabs that holds it in the housing. (ask me how I know). Only thing I question was the 120ft lb noted to tighten it to. But Taylor at MMR confirm that was the right torque.

You just have to tip and pull it out with a firm but gentle hand. I rushed it and broke one of the clips on the end so I just bought a replacement cover from Amazon and swapped the stem from it.

120 ft-lbs? This doesn't sound right. The stock housing is 18 ft-lbs. I assume the MMR is using the two outer o-rings, why so much torque?

Ok I will give it a try later...
Thank you

120ft lb on an aluminum oil filter housing? Um no.

No useful benefit to this product other than lightening your wallet.
