MC FL-500S, 6,000 miles TORN!

[53' Stude]

Sad day for Purolator. This FL-500S was off a friends 2012 F-150 4x4 extended cab F-150. Engine is 3.5 "Eco Boost". Oil was MC blend 5w20 and 6,000 miles. He bought the truck and had a thought it might be neglected. Hard to see the tear but it is. Put a Hastings he supplied and some Magnatec 5w20 from "the stash"

Enjoy pictures and HAPPY FRIDAY

Thanks Adam
That is why I shelved all of my MC's last year......

Date code on some end was wore off. Also, truck has 79,xxx miles on it. Glad my FL-400S didn't tear

Thanks for the C&P.

The Motorcraft seemingly has gotten a free pass, despite prior evidence of tearing. It is still being endorsed by some members on this board.

This thread is a good reminder to those who won't use a Purolator, but would gladly use a Motorcraft.

 

[53' Stude]

Well, count me in as a member that's used a 910S and FL-400S before. I guess I was lucky. I think I'll use the FL-400S until I see one that's tore, then....

 

[CR94]

Wow! That looks as though something gnawed on it, instead of the usual form of tearing. Why?

 

[53' Stude]

Good question. I'm thinking the neglect and loosening of crud up played a part

I run the FL-400s on our 2.5 ford fusion and not one filter has tore.

10,000 mile OCI

Yup nothing but nice looking filters when I cut them open. Easily doable in this application.

 

[53' Stude]

Thanks, maybe I'll try it

Thanks again

Thanks for the C&P car51
Currently the oil filter I have on my MIL GMC Acadia - hoping it comes out in better condition than this one.
We'll see in a few thousand miles.

Thanks Bud_One, and fingers crossed

An F150 3.5 Ecoboost takes 5w30, not 5w20. That's a big problem along with the filter. On a long OCI that'd shear down to what, a 5w10?

 

[53' Stude]

It has high miles, and I didn't have much 5w30 Magnatec left so what they hey

 

[53' Stude]

Worse case scenario; I can call him and have him stop and put some Quaker State Conventional 5w30 in and I'd re use the Magnatec Syn 5w20
