Hello,

I removed this filter off a new car and replaced it with an OEM part. Or so I thought. I sourced the Motorcraft part though the ford dealership and when I removed the old one i could see it was different in design, Clearly not a Motorcraft filter.
The car is an Australian, 2016 Ford Falcon XR6 turbo and this is it's OEM filter, the one it left the factory with. This is it's first filter change.

Has anyone seen one of these or can have a guess as to it's manufacturer? The first 2 pictures contain the only identifying markings.
The filter had 9500km on it. Well designed. Fairly good pleat distribution except for the one area showen. Silicone ADBV and a prefilter bypass that was really well designed. The medium was in good nick and no gaps in the glue. UOA's done during the OCI were good.

If I'm looking to compare it to US made filter, looks to be a Champ Labs made filter. The bypass design is the same type that can be found on some Champ made Mobil One filter applications and Champ made factory filters including FoMoCo vehicles. Base plate similar to Champ Labs too.
 
My last new Fords- 2015 and 16 had the same generic looking filter installed such as yours.
Looked outside like a MC part with no writing and on the 6.2L F350 it even took a different filter wrench than the 820
OEM replacement
