What kind of oil filter does a 2001 Ford Explorer sport need?

A 2001 Ford Explorer Sport requires a specific oil filter depending on the engine it has. There were several engine options for that year. To know for sure, you must check your owner's manual or the sticker under the hood.

The oil filter type isn't just a single number; it might be specified by a part number (like a Motorcraft filter number) or a cross-referenceable number from other brands (like Fram, Purolator, etc.). Without knowing the exact engine, any answer given here would be a guess and potentially incorrect.
