I do not thinks so. They are cryptic in their listings and usually edit out actual brand names but you know what they are pushing.
Counterfeit Motorcraft FL-910S

Got thinking, if you still have the counterfeit for kicks and giggles, a burn test on the adbv would be interesting to see if it is really silicone as the orange would indicate.
And, good to know about your experience with Amazon following the sold and shipped by practice.

They went out with the trash pickup this morning.
I do not think the ADBV was silicone. Was stiff and slow to snap back to form when folded over. Had fine chalk like film on it that wiped off but that may have been the mold release agent.
Which is crazy if true because that is over $2 cheaper than what dealers pay for that part from Ford.
Yeah if anyone ever sees this it's 100% fake. They always do exactly this to pass fakes as genuine.
Dang, last time I bought one it was $4 and change, maybe a year ago.
Yeah, they almost doubled overnight.
FWIW, they can be had in case qty for like the $6 range on RockAuto with shipping factored in.
Ford had about a 30% cost increase on filters about a year or so ago. Some actually doubled in cost overnight.
OK. Going out their way to fake a silicone adbv using orange color, that would be low even for counterfeit, imo.
Was not exactly the most scientific method, so do not hold me to it. If it was silicone, it was pretty crappy example.
Is it actually shipped and sold by Walmart? Walmart online is now like Amazon in that there are a lot of third-party sellers.
It shows it to be in the local store near me. See on the ad where it says "Pickup today".
That's the same price I got mine on Amazon for. Looking at the filters after receiving them, they look fine. I will open one up my next OCI for a cut & paste. Thanks
The filter on the right (the good one so to speak) shows black glue on the base plate. The last couple of oil changes (I do them myself) I found clue pieces in my oil change pan when I drained out the oil. Because of that I am no longer using the MC FL 910S which I used for many years in Ford engines. Also, I always bought them from WM.
I have stopped using the FL-910S also because of torn media on my last oil change on the Bronco Sport I have.
