Here is the filter off my 2010 2.5L Fusion. 4,000 miles with Motorcraft 5w-20. I changed the oil sooner than I normally would because of an up coming road trip. Overall looked great. I did notice this filter has louvers instead of holes in the tube.
If I could be sure that every FL910S looked that good I'd use nothing else on my Escape and Focus but with the Purolator TEARING issues I can't be sure....

I use the 910 on my Focus and riding mower. The ones I have cut open have always looked very good. My Fusion takes the FL 2017 cartridge and it always looks good as well.
Looks great, including the louvered centertube. Guess you were hiding the sealing gasket from us. j/k Pretty typical in my observation of the FL910S application posted here. Thinking well maintained engine here, and this one could have gone longer if desired.
