No idea. I did notice there does not appear to be a bypass in the bottom of the filter, which I am used to seeing with my FL-1A style filters.

My parents have a PureONE on the Expedition, but at 18 bucks a filter, I would buy a Fleetguard with the glass media first.....

They do not sell anything other than FRAM at Walmart in Canada.

The FL820S is, from what I've read, a 20 micron filter.

The bypass is on the base end with the 820S, and is a very good design if you ask me.

 

[tig1]

If the 820 MC is a 20 micron flt, what is the micron rating of a M1 or Pure 1?

 

[chevrofreak]

I believe that the M1 is 15 and the PureOne is 10, but don't take that as gospel.

May go with a 10-micron Fleetguard glass filter next OCI then..... 20 microns doesn't impress me.

Either the Motorcraft or the NAPA Gold. Just make sure you get an oil filter that has 0.02" thick steel can material. I read somewhere that Ford spec’d it for the FL-820s for a reason.

I ran Pure One on my 6.8L V10 f250. (I think its the same filter for yours)

Great quality as we all know.

You know the quality of Donaldson from Fleetgaurd. If you can get a case cheap, why not stick with em?

Darn you OVERK1LL!!!
I want a truck to tinker with!!!

Exactly. The Donaldson filters are top-notch, and yes, I can get the Fleetguard glass ones quite easily.

Next OCI

I'd probably get a Pureone and change it every 10-15k. If I remember right the filter is a PITA to get to.

Nope, quite easy.

They must have changed it the following year.

My prior '03 Exp'y and the current '07 have them buried up in there so bad my arms look like I've been in a fight with a badger or something by the time I'm done.

My '98 had the remote filter mounted right behind the front bumper; THAT was the way to go. Piece of cake.

'03 was the year they changed to the new platform. Mine, like your '98, is based on the F-150, and so yes, like your '98, the change is a breeze
