Hello, my trans is leaking fluid and I was thinking while i had the trans pan off I would change my tans oil filter. I called to get pricing for the parts and there is a huge difference. Oreilly's wants either $14 (18 bolt?) or $20 (16 bolt. and those filters come with the pan gasket. I called Ford and they want $36 for the filter, $22 fro the gasket and said i will need 6qt of oil at $6.25 a qt. Should I pay the extra for the ford parts or would the cheaper aftermarket parts work fine? other than crawling under the ST is there a way to tell if i have the 16 or 18 bolt pan? Should I use Ford Mercon 5 oil or just get cheaper stuff at Oreillys? I will spend the extra money if it is worth it.
Thanks
