One bad filter does not merit a statement like this. Not at all.
Sure, that one looked bad, and yes, Motorcraft filters are made by Puro, but anyone scanning the oil filter section can clearly see that Puros and MC filters are two very different beasts.
It's been stated before - MC filters are made by Puro, but they are made to Ford specs.
I cut open two FL400s filters this weekend, and I can say without a doubt that they are virtually pristine, as used filters go, and they ran for 7500 miles each. I will be posting pictures this evening.
MC oil is also great stuff.
Okay, I know I said I was going to post filter pics that night, but it took me longer. Got one pic to post here, and I will be posting many more pics tonight under the Oil Filters forum.
This photo is of two Motorcraft FL400s ilters, both run on my 2010 Ford Fusion, and each run for a little over 7500 miles. One had been sitting for about 4 months before I cut it open.
On both filters, all pleats maintained strong structural rigidity. While this picture does not show it, both filters were glued at the seam and the seam on each was still holding fast.
Yes, this is indeed just two filters, but considering they were two consecutively run filters, they strongly reinforce my confidence in the product.
Those look great. My guess is the one on the left sat for 4 month?
