No, Ford does not maunufacture the filters themselves, they do however specify the design and materials of the filters. Many filters are manufactured by Champion Laboratories (NOT the spark plug "Champion") and Wix as well as some other suppliers. All are capable of making great stuff....or junk. Don't think for a minute that STP, Mobil or Roush have people in a room building
oil filters, all those are contracted out to specification. No different than gasoline refining where one refinery turns out multiple brands with different additive packages as specified.
