Explorer oversize filter?

[toolsllr]

Newbie here....

I would like to use an oversize Puralator Pure One on my 2004 Explorer, as I would like excellent filtration linked with great flow. How do I know which filter to use? I use their standard size now, but don't see a listing for oversize.

Thanks in advance.

You can search, or ask on this site:

With over 47,000 members, I'm sure someone has the answer. I've owned 3 Explorers in the past, and found lots of info on the above link. That was before I joined this site = before I cared about "oversized filters"....

What's the stock Motorcraft filter size?

Can we assume that all Explorers are created equal. That is, without knowing Explorers ...do they subscribe to the modular filter selection? The FL820S?? There is one oversized filter that works for this thread.

..but here you go.

I like the Motorcraft 820s. It's plenty of filter.

Thanks for the help. I will search out the WIX filter and try it out.

I agree.
On my Explorer I use the stock size Wix 51372 or a Napa Gold 1372 and it's big enough.
Now if you were talking about my Toyota Corolla's 1.8L's tiny filter...

Oversized but filters (Nominal rating of 16) much better than the 51087 (Nominal 24). Only drawback is that it doesn't have an ADBV (99% sure of this).

Hope this helps.
