Cut this open for a family member. Unfortunately the can got completely crushed from removing it. He over tightened it then when installed from the looks of things then had a hard time getting it off. It ended up getting crushed some from the filter wrench. These have no grip and he had a really rough time getting it off. It’s from a 2020 Ford F150 with the 5.0. It had 200 hours on it which equated to 11400 kms in 6 months and 2% remaining on the oil life monitor.

Thanks for the C&P. I have a 5.0 and I do not like to run it that long without an oil change. It doesn't look too bad for the hours and mileage.
I am intrigued by these new MC filters.
Nice photos and great cut and post. What oil and filter went in and back on? Thank You sir
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 and a Fram Ultra went on for this next interval.
Champion Labs made filter.
Is that a mesh backing I see in third pic from top? Looks like these Champ Labs made MC use polyester end caps. My understanding just temporary replacement because of supply issues with Puro made MC. What I can see, looks fine.
Thanks for c&p.
Thanks for c&p.
It's a long one!
Glad to see some decent filter area - even though the pleats are shallow. This may help prevent tearing.
Given the large sump of almost 9 quarts and that big filter, 7K mi (11K km) should be an easy OCI as long as idling is kept in check. Given the reported hrs., this vehicle likely had some idling time on it - or a fair % of highway driving. Oil soot looks like its idling though. - Arco

Looks like it could have went another 50 feet...

Wow that really does look like a mesh lining! I didn’t notice that until now. But it’s not. Just from the flash I believe. It is a normal filter media but it’s much stronger then the old style FL500s that it’s equivalent to.
This one does get warmed up in the mornings but then it’s basically all highway for him to get to work. And several longer highway trips. Complete opposite of my personal truck which averages half of his km/hr.
Thanks.
I am not familar with all coyote, is this gen truck engine direct injection?
These have dual fuel systems. They are port and direct injection. So they are a little harder on oil then the gen 1 and 2 which were port injection only.
Nice champ labs made filter. Your buddy could probably save some money by getting a champ or ST branded version. Same thing (I think) for less$$
