Have you verified that every engine in the world hasn't had an issue from a failed oil filter, any brand? 820S are filters that fail, so pose the same risk as any other filter that fails. Even Ford Tech Talk video says a torn oil filter can cause problems to Ford engines, and show why. I'm sure you've seen that video posted here a few times.
Would you use any brand of filter besides Motorcraft if you knew they have a tendency to fail?
Some watch videos, I have used the filter.
No failures in 300,000 miles on my application, where's your application? Or you just throwing info, and videos around with no proof of an engine failure yet?
Like I said, no recalls on this filter either so far as I'm concerned this topic is not worth discussing anymore.
You think Ford is blowing smoke about torn media? Now people want proof that engines blow-up from torn media, otherwise it's just fine for media to tear and potentially send pieces of media into the engine, lol. People can use what ever they want, it's not my vehicle.
Just funny how some people look at stuff - gotta have a major disaster to make them see the whole picture.
Look carefully at time 0:54.
I couldn't find any words saying torn filter media causes problems in the video. I think they mean media migration, which could be happening with a perfectly untorn filter of questionable origins. USCar 36 tests for media migration. I see lots of filters on here with what looks like fuzzy fibers sticking up all over. If they are glass fibers shedding that's worse than paper fibers shedding. I also saw the 820s he is turning in his hand looks nice until it gets to the wide pleat which has been the curse of this filter. Unless many torn are counterfeits, another unknown. Should keep you busy a few minutes correcting the narrative to your liking.
