Very nice. Thank you

The 820 looks glue free on the metal end plates of the filter element. I have used the MC 910s in my 2017 Ford Fusion and other Fords that take the 910 for many years, however recently the cut aways of the 910 have shown excess glue on the end plates that has shown up in my oil change pan, so I switched to a NAPA Gold filter this time.

I stopped using Motorcrafts for the same sloppy glue issue.

It doesn't look very impressive if you figure in its high cost.

Nice work. What went back in/on? Thank You

Would think for the premium pricing, the pleat spacing would be tighter. Looks like a standard FL-820 but just in a heavier gauge can.

OP, why do you use the racing version?
I use the regular 820S on our 2 supercharged mod motors but the racing version has always seemed overpriced to me.

Same filter. I bought a case of them. Oil is Havoline ProDS 5w-20 Full Synthetic.

I agree with you that the 820s is the better value. But these filters match my front skid plate.

What makes it a "Racing" filter? Higher flow?

Here is what Ford says: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/CM-6731-FL820
The only obvious difference between it and the FL820 is the weight and thickness of the can and base. It also it a little bit taller.

I stopped using Motorcrafts for the same sloppy glue issue.

With the Motorcraft bypass valve near the input wouldn't any glue remain in the filter on the outside of the media? Assuming there isn't excess glue seen during an interior inspection before installation?

There could also be sloppy glue on the end cap at the base end too where the bypass valve is. This one in a Whip City video only has the glue on the dome end, but I think I've seen a few with the glue on the end cap next to the bypass valve. I'd rather just use something that doesn't have glue that will break off in use.

One with some glue on the end cap where the bypass valve is located.




Another video showing glue coming off in use. This one looks like some could break off on the clean side of the element. Kind of concerning IMO.

Made on the same day as the first one you posted ... must have bought a bunch at a time.
