Motorcraft is used by many on these boards, and has been a very good filter. Arguably the best filter you can buy for under $4.
A few filters doesn't sound like much until you realize only a tiny portion of the filters are checked. The people cutting open filters for fun is very limited. The manufactures likely cut open a bunch but they aren't posting them on BITOG.
Maybe there needs to be a thread in which to report the filter you cut open, and whether or not it was damaged - kind of like how theoil changes for the year are compiled. That way we would have some hard data on the % of filters that fail.
Mods, can we set that up as a sticky?
