I know Motorcraft filters are made by Purolater, but haven't seen much on them having holes...I thought they were fairly robust but will do some research.
Is your comment on the PPMs in new engines specific to the Coyote, or just in general suggesting dumping at 1K due to break in materials?
I think that is a smart thing to do. I have a 2014 Mustang GT that I bought new. While I have not had any engine issues, I did have several issues that were warranty issues and I fought with Ford on two of them with one of them never getting resolved since they blamed me for the paint defect. One the other defect(Radio screen was delaminating) they also tried to blame me for causing the damage and it took four months of fighting with them to finally get them to replace it. I've never had as much problem with warranty items as I've had with Ford.
