This is the filter from my Powerstroke and is one of the Affinia (WIX) made CarQuest Blues that I bought for $4.06 from Rock Auto back in 2015. Pleats are nice and straight, it had a quart of oil in it so the ADBV was working and it was very pliable, all in all there are no complaints here (well except the oil can stain as badly as crude). Kendall Super-DXa 15W-40 SynBlend was used with this filter and another Affinia made CQ Blue took its place along with Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5W-40. Unlike my Explorer, it is not possible to capture a good photo of the Gold Plug because the oil pan is steel and I can never remove it without it sticking and rubbing the tip, but I could see some buildup on the end.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
