2010 ford explorer, 4.0 V6. specs a FL820S. can the 500 filter safely be used in place of the 820? i work at a pennzoil xpress lube for the time being, we get a really large volume of Fords come through ( i dont see why people still go here, the owner charges ridiculous prices, for example, any diesel truck for oil and fuel filters, cheapest is $215, with rotella 15W40, T6 Rotella and fuel filter is at least $300) 99% of the fords take a PZ-173 oil filter, and sometimes we run out, so we have the customer walk over to the autozone to get a filter, they usually come back with a STP, although i recommend Motorcraft. So it seems as though an FL820S and FL500S are interchangeable? correct me if im wrong.

The bypass valve setting and flow rate are the critical differences, aside from basic dimensions. The 500 has a lower bypass pressure and a lower flow rate than the 820.
It would seem that they should not be interchanged.
