Looks like these are now available at Canadian tire as well. They are $11.50. Pretty cheap. Maybe Iāll pick a couple up to cut open ahead of time and have one ready to go.thanks
I checked his profile for his location....
Lots of guys here moving to Premium Guard made filters, they make so many house brands Iām not surprised you have some available. 
Seam pleat area spacing, being kind, not good. That said, if it didn't tear got the job done. I do note that the endcap appears to have deformed in few areas in pic #5 from top. The one that looks the most significant I'm assuming is in the area of the seam pleat area. While endcap deformation here doesn't appear to be enough to allow bypass, as the TG3614 linked* shows, not always the case.
Thanks for c&p.

Fram Tough Guard 3614 Cut Open- internal damage
This filter came off a 05 sienna, 3.3l, the OCI was 4876 miles, running Mobil 1 5w30, from May 2016 to November 2016. I just cut it open yesterday. There was a spot where the filter media was crushed a bit, I assume during assembly. There was no way I did it cutting it open, it's minor, but the...

Good Morning Advocate,
Thank you for the C&P, very informative. You being in a cold region, combined with taking the oil to 4% and frequent revs to 7,500 rpm was an awesome test environment for an oil filter. I agree the filter looks very good with the conditions it operated under. I'm looking forward to your future C&Ps.
At what point did Champ start making Motorcraft filters? I know puro/mann did for years. If I knew when Champ started making them, I'd know what c&ps to look for when trying to see if I want to run them.
Also, I would be using the 910s if I were to go with motorcraft--do you know which ones are champ made?

Me neither anymore ... for reasons I've stated before and why I'm going with something else. I have to keep clarifying and repeating that for certain members that need to improve their short term memory.
The new Champ made Motorcrafts with the eCore might be better, and most likely still meet the Motorcraft USCAR-36 which isn't too demanding to meet. Also, only some of the new Motorcrafts are eCore, and the other half of the new line still uses a metal center tube ... not sure if that's with holes or louvers.
Some info in these threads. There's a link to a PDF that shows all the detailed info. From what I understand, this line of Motorcraft filters are alternatives, not replacements of the original Motorcraft filter design.
FL-2121-B12 (FL-500S alternative)
So a few weeks ago I went into a local Ford dealership to burn up my remaining Ford Pass points and decided to get a few oil filters. The parts guy came out with 3 FL-2121-B12 filters instead of the usual FL-500S Iāve always used and told me the FL-500S had been discontinued and this was the new...

Motorcraft FL-2121
I finally got my hands on the motorcraft fl500s replacement. The fl2121. This is for the 5.0 coyote and 3.5 ecoboost among many other engines. Itās very light compared to other filters for these engines with its composite center tube and fiber end caps. It has lots of filter media measuring 48ā...

Great, thanks. I'm fine with the newer ecores (newer as in last several years) that had more columns & rows (?) in the design.
So from this page, linked to in one of the threads you linked to (https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/attachments/oep-pdf.725003/) my Highlander & Sienna, which would normally take the 910S, can now take the 2123, and the 400S used to be the oversize; that is aligned with the 2120. That PDF that I linked to is a Motorcraft chart showing which old numbers line up with which new numbers, and give vehicles as well.

Flexible end caps save some of these from tearing. At what point is the deformation of the end caps gonna cause it to leak by around the center tube opening on either side?
Good Morning Plawan,
In my experience cutting open both the Extra Guard and Tough Guards, I found the stamp steel spring w/bypass valve fits very tightly into the center hole. It is an interference fit and takes force to pull it out. Combined with the spring force of the stamped steel spring, I can't see an opening being created if everything is made per print. I think the media or glue joint would have to fail first.
Good info, thanks
