Looks good. What oil and filter went back in and on?

Thank You

PP 5W30 and another FL-820S. Filter looks fine to me. I couldn’t find any tears.

That doesn't look bad at all. I got a few 820's those pics give some comfort for me using my 3 FL820's in my stash.

Correct me if I am wrong, the build date is 7/3/21?

That's good, but that wide pleat could have been begging for a tear. The media in these filters seems pretty brittle and can't take much bending stress from dealt-p.

Looks better than most 820's that have been posted.

I've cut lots of 820's open and havent found any tearing. They generally are not the prettiest filter inside but they do the job. My 4.6 is 20 years old now. No issues. The car has used 820's for most of its life.

My 5.4 is 21 years old. Oiling is about the only issue it hasn't had
