MC FL-910S, 5.8K, ADBV cuts, C&P

[volk06]

Changed the oil in our 2016 edge with the 2.0 ecoboost. Removed the oil filter and noticed the adbv didn’t look right. So I did what any BITOG’r would do and cut it open. It was cut in 3 spots, with 2 going all the way through. The media looked good. I ran a bottle of regane 500mi before changing the oil. Filter looks like it did it’s job filtering butvwas disappointing to see the adbv cuts. This was from a Ford Works oc.

Replaced with a Fram 3614

Can someone decipher the build date? It was installed April 2020.

Seems like motorcraft oil filters quality sure has gone down.

 

[MParr]

NAPA Gold 1348 and no more problems.

Thanks for the C&P
I'm gonna take a guess and say filter was made Aug. 29th 2019

I used to use these on a Lexus. Then I got several in a row that would start to leak-down and have dry starts very quickly. I never figured out why but perhaps this issue. Switched to Fram Ultra and many great miles since w/no issue.

Thanks for the cp.

I had the exact same thing on the last Motorcraft FL-820S that I used. It will be the last one I use.

Have the ADBV breaks all matched the inlet port pattern or some not ?

Yeah, I’m thinking of using my MC FL-400S bullwinkle sent me on friends Ford truck for 4K OCI max

They all seemed to match up. Here’s my post about it.

Motorcraft FL-820s c&p

This is from my work van. A 2013 Ford E-350 6.8L V10. It was in use for 10 months and only 6000 kms. Dealer bulk synthetic 5w-20 was used. I know better then to use motorcraft but for our company vehicles we usually just maintain them at the dealer. Not anymore... I've noticed cuts in the adbv...

Adam I would use FL400S or 500S without reservations.

OP, Filter is ugly...

 

[bbhero]

Yeah I totally agree duckryder.... The FL 400s and 500s are extremely well made...

The fl 820s is a total junk.

Yes, "082919" = date code (08/28/19).

As much as I don't like cut ADBVs, it looks like the cuts are in the thick meaty part of the ADBV and probably didn't cause any real issue with the ADBV function.

Adam-you'll like the FL-400S-I have 2 or 3 FL-820S filters that I wouldn't use for anything but target practice!

The cuts are bad, but should seal a lot tighter to the base than the lip of the adbv itself. You have to wonder what kind of engineers we have these days to make something like an oil filter worse than before not better.

 

[volk06]

For those that are more knowledgeable than me, is the debris in the bottom of the can carbon? It didn't look metallic. It was in both this filter and the one off of my ecoboost.

Yes.

I used to get a ton of it in my Expedition filters when I started to run M1 in it.
