I don't want to take Adams thread too far off but the Amazon one is the common filter, my dealer has supplied me two of these, one which I cut open unused and the other which is now on the car. The one I posted a few days ago was original to the car, all of these were the MHL filters. There are a number of these cut open here if you google the part number (other than mine and Bronco).
The FFA Turkey filter I could not find one for sale so I'm wondering if perhaps some engines are sourced from Turkey and these are factory filters on those engines? (FWIW my window sticker indicates COO for my engine was Brazil)
In essence I'm trying to draw a parallel, are these filters like:
The OE Ford that used to be champ labs and were unavailable anywhere after the engine factory
or
The Honda where A01 and A02 as well as 003 are considered interchangeable though they are from different manufacturers and have different designs.
The FFA filter shares a few similarities with the MHL, but many differences too.
With respect to the 3600: Although I plan to use OE filters and officially approved oil in mine so there can be no arguments, I'd think you were under considerably less risk using a catalogued AM filter. Meaning you can point to the application guide and find the part number specified for the car. At least if that was the case and the dealer tried to blame the filter you'd have some chance of having the filter maker in your corner, but if you go outside of that ... you're kinda far out there on that limb by yourself...
