Motorcraft FL 910S Oil Filter Review

A fairly simple item. It comes in a box as shown in the picture, it is not wrapped in plastic but never was. Looks nice! Inexpensive and designed for regular, blended or fully synthetic oil. It even had oil change instructions on a small tab inside. A nice touch for a budding auto mechanic. This is a genuine and recommended Ford product. It may not always be made in the USA, but it's for an American brand.

(And I bought it from Revain.com, not one of their marketplace sellers).

I've always used M1 oil filters, but I was running low on my inexpensive supply and didn't want to pay $10 for a filter. Purolators, Fram have always had bad reviews and they have always had a good reputation so I gave one a try. After being cut with an exhaust pipe cutter after about 4,000 miles, the element cracked. I'm not sure if it was at or near the glue line. But broken top to bottom, meaning there isn't much filtering. I also tried Ecoguard which is very cheap. It has a nice thick body…

Purchased for 2015 Ford Fusion with 2.0L Ecoboost engine. Due to the price of this filter I was skeptical due to the plague of counterfeit Motorcraft/Ford parts at Revain. However, the product page said it was sold by "Motorcraft" so I figured it should be legal. If so, then the quality control is terrible. When I wanted to install the filter, I wound it by hand about 3 turns and everything went fine and easily. I then started using my short handle ratchet and filter bushing (up to the handle)…
