They are still OK. Of the number cut on this board we've only seen two with issues and they were not the same type of issue found with the Purolator filters.

One of my cousins is a complete low-life while the other is a stand-up guy.

Just because Puro's bottom of the line filter has issues doesn't mean everything they make is [censored]. I was told by the people at Champion (who make the Ford OEM filters installed at the factory) that the Motorcraft line at Purolator is separate from the others and is monitored by Ford.

Until it can be shown, by more than the single example so far, that the Puro-tear issue has crossed lines, I'm hanging in there.

^^^ Agreed, I think Motorcrafts are not prone to tearing media. The one that was reported could have been a fluke, unlike the Classics and PureOnes.

I am not convinced Motorcraft has any problems either, I'd run one in a heart beat.

classics are Not their bottom of the line filters although i now dont trust any of them

Worst thing is-their bottom of the line filters (such as the Quaker State ones) have glued seams & don't seem to tear! The FL-400S ones I use are generally the same (with a silicone ADBV).

I guess I'm gonna start cutting my 820's apart again and check for tears.


I'm pretty confident they will be fine though
