Cutaway compare Motorcraft vs the World (almost)!

More relevant now that we have an efficiency rating for the MC, but I withhold points from the presentation because efficiency isn't addressed.

Was distressing for me to see how many combo valves are now appearing... all Wix made products it appears.

I don't place a high value on the base end bypass, considering it a "plus" rather than a "gotta-have." Anyway, more continuing proof that the MC filters are a great value.

I did not know Wix was now producing combo valves. I am not a fan of those myself. Mainly because the only one I ever knowingly tried did not work properly.

Motorcraft remains the best "bang for the buck" IMO, I do wish they had a higher efficiency though.

"Fear the Combo Valve" ... I don't like them either.

Does anyone know if this is the old or new 820s. Based on pleat height and count, I would think it is the old 820s. I just cant remember.
