Motorcraft FL-820S cut open

[FastLane]

Off my Mustang GT. 4000 kms on Pennzoil Platinum 5W30. Once again no tears. These hold oil so well. Always a mess cutting them open. Car is parked for winter.

Ugggh...the humanity of the wavy pleat

Oh gosh that doesn't look good. The filter I mean. The Mustang looks fantastic.

Is that the filter people here hate on so much? Looks good to me.

Another 820S went back on. Not worried one bit. I still have a few left.

Thanks for the filter dissection.

Parking the Snowblower in front a Mustang for the winter is a Manitoba thing. My garage has the same set up from October to April.

It’s parked in my parents garage for winter. I’ll cover it up tomorrow and put the maintainer on the battery.

And pump the tires to 50 psi.

Nice Mustang! The filter looks ok and I use Motorcraft on my F150.

Tires are done for. I’ll have to figure out what to buy for the spring.

How many miles can that filter handle ?

That's a pretty old filter ... date code says made on 11-17-2016.

I had bought a bunch years ago. I think I still have two left. These days I generally only go through one filter a year.

They are sold without any specific designations of increased capacity. I have used the for 10K in engines that were in good shape, there is a good bit of media compared to many filters these days.

I agree they hold the oil. My explorer starts quieter on these than any other filter.
