Came across this today on another page. Looks like an updated 2.7L ecoboost filter. Made in Brazil. I wonder if ford changed suppliers on these or something. I may have to try one out next change. I usually will not use a motorcraft but if they moved away from purolator... anyone see these or try them yet?
Updated Motorcraft FL-2062-A

It looks very much like the OE VW Mann filter on for our Tiguan.
Wow my phone must hate me, I ended up posting this to the wrong page. Mods can you please move it to the oil filter forum.
I haven't gotten one for myself yet. This is a borrowed set of pics. But the person did get new o rings with it. They were black instead of the pink ones.
Ok bought one of these at local WM and installed on 2.7 F150. Obviously different construction and comes with green cap o'rings and a black rubber pilot o'ring. Im not saying its the filter or the o'rings but the truck was towed to the dealer today, 200 miles after oil change with low oil pressure? 20K miles could be bad sender but who knows.

I agree.

I agree.
I didn't know ford was using cartridge style filters. I thought all the EcoBoost engines where using FL500s. Thanks for the update.

The engine used on the Focus or Fusion also used a cartridge filter IIRC. The 6.0-6.4 Navistar PSDs all use cartridge filters as well.

The 2007 Fusion 2.3 used the MC FL 2017B Cartridge.

I'm using the FL-2062-A right now and it is a taller filter than FL-2062. I'm not sure it is a better filter. The end plates aren't black plastic like the 2062. The included O-rings are a different color and material. I'm hearing the GT350/500s are using FL-2087 which is dimensionally identical to FL-2062, but uses a pleat/material similar to the Amsoil Ea15K filter, with wire mesh reinforcement, and a metal core.
And Mann should have a plant in Brazil - it’s home to a major VW operation as well.
Mahle and Hengst make similar filters as well - the latter has worked with Ford before.
Good observation. When I first saw it that was my first thought too. Endcap material/composition look identical to the Mann made for BMW cartridges. Not much of a leap to say this MC is made by Mann. Linked pic of aforementioned BMW/Mann cartridge.

How much is it? That ecoboost label must increase the price?
