what is the motorcraft oil filter equivalent to a purolator Pure one PL14610? have heard good things about the motorcraft filters and want to try one on my car. also are Napa and baldwin filters any good? i know napa, has gold, proselect etc, which one is the best napa one?
 
Napa gold is the good one, it's made by wix and a great value. Baldwin makes a filter for nearly every need in terms of size, bypass pressure, micron rating ect...so if you go baldwin make sure you know what you're getting
 
I think the Federal Government should also be responsible for filter equivalency searches

My old kia called for pl14610 the book at advance also listed motorcraft fl821.
 
Based on Advance Auto look up specs, it looks to be the fl821. However, the fl822 may have superceeded the 821, or vice versa.

That said, looking at the specs on site, not sure what is gained over the PL14610? No S at the end indicates that unlike the P1 it has a nitrile adbv, and afaik it has the same dome end bypass design as the P1.

Regular price looks to be similar, but the P1 can be had for discounted price ~$3-5 regularly. The 821/822 looks most similar to a Classic than a P1. For the same or less money, I'd take the PL14610, but that's just me.
 
Subaru and Mazda RX-8 guys like this the best; available at Mazda dealer:
PN# N3R1-14-302 Tokyo Roki

Built better than anything out there, purportedly. I haven't check the equivalency.

sayjac brings up a good point ... I think the FL-821 or FL-822 is basically a Purolator Classic (except Motorcraft advertises a worse efficiency number), so if you want a better filter in that size configuration, then go for the PureOne PL14610. The FL-822 does have the same bypass valve setup as the PL14610 (ie, spiral flat spring).
 
Stick with the PureOne.....its one of the best mid-tier filters out there....and considered by many as the "best bang for the buck".

IMO....Motorcrafts are good (equal to the Purolator Classic)....but not as good as a PureOne.
 
Napa Gold is the best from Napa.

Rockauto has pictures of both the FL821 and FL822. Either should work fine.

Almost every filter is good. Are you testing them? or looking for a solution to a problem?
 
Agreed, P1 sounds like the better option. Or even a Napa Gold/Wix for that matter. As mentioned, most can be found on RockAuto if you can't get them locally.
 
i plan on cutting open the purolator. due for an oil change in 300 miles ill be cutting open that one. dont know how to post pics on here so ill be putting them in my facebook pic album. ill use the napa this upcoming oil change and cut it open in another 4,000 miles.
