, It dont felt the same as before any more. I stick with Pure one for every car I own from now.
IMO, your reasoning on the choice is faulty. I went by the the Wally filter section yesterday to look at the new FL 400, it says the exact same thing on the box as the now not so new FL 820. As member Fordeisel illunminated with the 820, same media area, with more pleats. I will say the FL400 did the same to MC specs too as the 820.
The new FL400, like the 820, still looks and feels like a very substantial well made filter. I wouldn't pass it up because of the new size. That said, it's your money and your choice and one has to use what they are comfortable with. Also, the Pure One is a high quality filter at a very reasonable price.
As for all the limitations and restrictions in the original post, as SNL's (the late great Gilda Radner) Rosanne Rosannadanna used to say
nevermind.
