Product Description
Motorcraft FL-820-S Oil Filter
From the Manufacturer
Motorcraft filters are engineered to the high quality standards of the Ford Motor Company and are recommended by Ford as the original equipment replacement filter for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. They are designed to help protect against engine wear by screening out abrasives, such as carbon, sand, dust and bits of metal before they can get into your oil. Pressure-relief valves help minimize the chance of contaminated oil circulating back into the engine and also help maintain the supply of oil to the engine under extreme cold conditions or if the filter gets clogged. The outer casings are constructed of steel, “ironed” for a precise fit, painted to resist rust and include flutings to ease removal. The efficient filter media offers increased dirt-collecting capability and ability to capture more engine-harming particles. Silicone anti-drain back valves help prevent oil from draining out of the filter and engine when the engine is not running and resist the aging effects that an engine’s high heat can cause.

Be sure to check with the Auto or Truck Manufacturer to find the correct SIZE of Oil Filter for your vehicle. Amazon’s Parts Locator says that the Motorcraft FL820S does not fit my 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis, 4.6 Litre V-8 engine. This is incorrect. The fact is that the Motorcraft FL820S is the FORD-recommended filter for my 1995 Mercury engine, and is recommended in almost every application of the Ford /Mercury/Lincoln 4.6 Litre engine size.The Motorcraft FL820S interchanges with the BOSCH 3410, the FRAM TG2, and the K&N 2010.The Motorcraft FL820S has over 50 pleats, high flow rate, silicone anti-drainback valve, and steel end caps.Amazon’s current low price ($3.69) is an excellent value for a quality oil filter that’s MADE IN USA !!My car is driven in heavy traffic, desert temperatures, mountain driving, and trans-desert trips from Phoenix to L.A.The standard FORD Motorcraft Filters performed just as well as the high-dollar types — and filtered MUCH better than the K&N, which has a very high flow rate (for racing), but the low 90% efficiency rating of the K&N makes it a no-no for extended oil changes. I wouldn’t run a K&N oil filter for more than 3,000 miles — you’d just be stirring up dirty oil and pumping it through the bearings !! :>(For my American V-8 engine, I have found the best value to be the Motorcraft FL820S Oil Filter and Mobil 1 5-W-20 Extended Life (Synthetic) engine oil. The quality of the oil filter allows for filter changing every 5,000 miles, and the engine oil is changed once-a-year, regardless of miles driven.For maximum oil life, be sure your PCV system is working properly — Remove and wash out the PCV Valve with Carburetor Cleaner, and check for collapsed and/or damaged PCV hoses. A leaking PCV system will suck un-filtered dirt right into your engine !!1995 Mercury Grand Marquis RS225 HP 4.6 Litre SOHC V-8Modified Air Box w/ K&N Air FilterBosch Impeller Fuel PumpBosch 19 Lb.

This filter cost me a little more, but it arrived in one day and it fit my 2008 Ford Fusion exactly. I usually use a Fram PH2 ,but being a Ford make of auto parts, I thought this would be a good bet for fitment. The filter quality is good and authentic Ford parts. I was happy with the oil change and install. All went smooth.

Needed Ford F150 with 5.4 liter. These filters have always given the appearance of a quality, well fitted product.Price is fair and better than the local part stores.

These are GREAT filters with silicone ADBVs. Anti-Dran Back Valves. This holds the oil pressure up towards the top of the engine so when you start your car the next morning, you don’t get all the chattering/ticking. The ADBV is made to last, too. Not sure who makes them, now, but Purolator was making part of these filters a few years ago, which is a GREAT company. Never had one fail. Run Motorcraft filters on Fords and AC/Delco on GMs. Don’t waste your money on some quadruple prices “Royal Purple” filter or some kind of Mobil1 filter. They are NOT better for your engine. These are designed for your OHC engines with quality components.
