Went to Canadian Tire to grab a fuse for the Expedition (don't play with amplifier wiring when your son is bopping about the vehicle like a rabbit with a cocaine addiction) and noticed they had one of these on the shelf.... Only one... It was lonely. It needed a home. And it is now comfortably at home in my filter stash.

Still not the "perfect" modular filter. Which would have a threaded-end ADBV. But definitely more threads on the base plate than the PureONE or Motorcraft filters I have.

And of course the pics:

I just crossed the 8,000Km mark on my first run of AFE 0w30. She'll be run to 10K and UOA'd with TAN/TBN to see how things look... and if I can run it longer next time.
 
With my old 96 Merc 4.6 I used a lot of those filters(M1 210) with no problems at all. Should work well for you.
 
Using an M1 (102)EP currently on my 03' Ford Focus. Its a great long OCI filter (can do 10K to 12k easily)....with a high quality synthetic.

They do. Hence my mentioning of it in the original post. This filter would be better with the "right" bypass valve for this application.

It is made by Champion, right here in Illinois.

This one here is actually the only M1 I've ever seen that didn't have a thread end bypass.

Doesn't that strike you as odd?

Not all Motorcraft oil filters have a base end bypass valve either. Guess any manufacture can have a few odd balls in their line-up.

Sort of my point. There are a couple of applications where Ford has gone out of their way to spec a silicone ADBV and threaded-end bypass. This is one of those applications. The old FL-1A has neither (what my 302 takes) but the M1 filter for that application has both, LOL! Most other filters for that application mirror Ford's design however: Dome-end bypass, nitrile ADBV. Whilst EVERY other version of THIS filter, aside from Ford's own that I can find has the dome-end bypass. It is that fact (the seeming uniqueness of this scenario) that strikes me as odd.
 
Ya I see what you're getting at and I agree. Why an application that specs threaded-end bypass doesn't have it while most other M1s do is odd. Is there a different application for this filter that does specs a dome-end?

Nope. The FL-820S is the "Modular" filter. Silcone ADBV, threaded-end bypass. The former to prevent tensioner bleed-down and eliminate start-up noise, the latter I assume because of the massive oil volume the pumps in these engines move, which on a cold engine, likely puts the filter into bypass.

I thought the FL-1A had the thread end bypass, or am I mistaken?

It does. All the ones for sale in my local Walmart do anyway.
