MC FL-500S 8000 miles with Quaker State Ultimate Durability

[buck91]

This is the Motorcraft FL500S off my 2011 F150 5.0L with about 8000 miles and Quaker State Ultimate Durability. Looks good to me- nice tight pleats, seams in tact and no tears noted and the ADBV was nice and soft. As you can see, I have...crude...methods.

Is there paint splatter on the drain pan extending from the element in the bottom pic?

Looks like panning for gold.

The FL-500S filters always look pretty good inside.

Yup. I've started cutting them open at the base plate crimp to check for the purolator tearing that has been seen around. This is the 2nd or 3rd one I've done and so far so good.

Crude but effective. Filter looks great to me, thanks for posting.
