Correct. Same 93mm with 36 flutes, so no need to buy a new wrench end cap.
I gave up buying end cap wrenches because every time I bought a different filter, or the same one sometime down the road it seems they changed the size slightly. Must have 6 or 8 different end cap wrenches by now. Going with grippy textured PureONEs now and just tightening by hand these days.

Same here! But, son has an Explorer, and the FL820S is first choice for that vehicle. That makes that endcap essential. Besides, that purchase was to fill out an Advance Auto purchase to use one of the $10 off coopins on a $25 purchase . Couldn't go wrong.
But you are right, the texture makes Pure One installation a breeze.
