These websites allow you to enter your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine size to find the correct oil filter. They will show you the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) filter number, as well as a list of compatible aftermarket filters, including whether the Moto-Master 17-1711-4 is listed as a fit. Simply searching for "2000 Ford Ranger 3.0L oil filter" will also give you a list of compatible options.
Don't solely rely on cross-reference numbers without verifying their compatibility through a trusted source. Using the wrong filter can damage your engine.
