Motorcraft FL-2127. The P/N was NUZZ-6731-F, The suffix is usually the design/build revision. I will open the installed filter after the next oil change planned in July, The challenge to change the filter is to remove a 15 screw underbody sound shield.
After reading all the comments here, I was expecting the worst.
The base holes look like a prior Purolator made Motorcraft filters. In the very bottom, I see black ring (does not look like glue but could be wrong) where the cage meets the casing. Dealer price was over $13,
Since Motorcraft only sells their full synthetic in one quart $$$ bottles. I will choose a different oil but that is another topic.
