R8R0S, I am guessing your F150 has the 4.2 V6 in it, correct? While using this oil filter, or any other brand besides the FL-400S, did your engine have <span style="font-weight: bold">ANY</span> rattles or ticking upon startup?

My truck has the 4.6 V8, not the 6, and I've never had any noise at startup. Most of the truck's mileage was on the FL-400S, but on the rare occasion I used another filter, including this one and the Fram Ultra on it now, there was no problem.

Because the XPs don't develop holes between the pleats and the media doesn't unravel into a bunch of splinters that go through your oil system.

Ultra with a pin-hole in the media really doesn't mean much when there is only one reported instance IMO. Purolator media tears ... that's definitely an issue.
