[@howabouthetruth2157]

There are Ford vehicles/engines that are horrible. Same is true for every auto maker: some engines are great, while others are/were not. I still own my 2000 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 I bought new, with the 2.7 liter 3RZ-FE engine & automatic transmission. Never gave me any trouble whatsoever, until I finally blew a head gasket at 374,000 miles........and I was hard on this little truck. Over 75% of those miles was towing, sometimes towing right at ( and occasionally over ) the maximum towing limit. I also did a good bit of serious off-roading. All of the bearings ( mains, rods, thrust ) and crank & rod journals were still in great shape, using only conventional 10w30 Castrol oil the entire time. So this was way more abuse than any car would experience. I changed the oil every 5,000 miles. I went ahead & had the entire engine totally rebuilt with a new genuine Toyota cylinder head, and am now running only Amsoil 10w30 full synthetic. I personally know 2 different people with the same truck who presently have over 500,000 miles on all original engine & drivetrain. But they weren't as abusive as I was with mine. @@Davido50

I also had a 08 focus I bought new and sold it after 10 years and 160k. No issues except a cv axle, wheel bearing, door lock, and throttle body. Never changed rear brakes either. Solid vehicle. Now I have a lincoln suv thats nice but way less reliable.

[@roycewoods9219]

Thank you for doing this. It’s nice to see what is actually inside those filters. After seeing this and considering that I do regular 3000 mile oil changes I think I will continue using the factory motorcraft filters. My Town Car and my F150 take the same filter and that makes it easier to stock up on them and have them when I need them.

It'd be the best thing you could do for it! I preach 3k oil changes with full syn and this guy 86% agrees! Made up percentage but Ill bet he'll love the comment....

[@markchimmy]

I have an 04 lincoln town car and I noticed that the Motorcraft fl 820 oil filter does not do a good job keeping the oil in! the drain back valve appears to be not very good because after the engine has been off for about half hour or less when I start it up again the lifters are rattling really loud for about 3 seconds! with a good oil filter there should be no valve noise coming from the engine at all! Do you experience the same with your lincoln? please let me know, thank you!

@markchimmy Depends alot on engine age /wear also. If says use 5w20 ..you can try 5w30 (as long as engine older) to quiet lifter noise that's common w/older high mileage engines. Again, if over 100k mis DEFINITELY use@ least "high mileage" synthetic blend oil. They help older engines alot! If u've always used a full synthetic then use "higher mileage" full synthetic. Motorcraft filters are fine! Don't go over 5k mis tho. -NY

[@borichmond4218]

Ford Racing filter is designed for high flow and high burst pressure. The large inlet holes and taller filter media with more pleats is there for high flow. The thicker case, heavier base plate and superior glue bonding of pleats to end caps are made for high burst pressure and to keep media from coming loose under high flow and pressure. The thicker base plate allows for stronger connection to the case. Of course it filters well also.

[@TheOverisel]

That Motorcraft filter is a hell of a deal! Fantastic construction and great price. I change oil at 3k so extended OCI is a non issue for me.

[@calvingeisinger2639]

I own both Ford’s that use the 820 and Chevy’s with an LS that I wish I could put the 820 on. Read Fords tech on why they designed the relief system at the inlet of the filter. It will make sense when you look at the MMO engine flush. You want to keep as much debris in the filter instead of flushing it out into the engine when/if the relief valve has to open. Ford’s idea is that the oil bypass being at the top will bypass oil flow to the shortest route and not over the filter material. Whatever is in the bottom of the filter, and loose in the pleats with the aid of gravity and flow can be pushed out into the engine when the valve is at the end of the filter. More likely, what’s in the filter is more likely to stay in the filter in bypass the way Ford designed it. It’s a valid observation especially on a filter system where the filter isn’t on it’s side but vertical like we all wish they were. As an engineer, it makes more sense to me at least. Don’t know about you but I have a lifetime supply and stored so they won’t get rusty!! 😁 AsI replied to another post, I have cut both the filters from the dealer and Walmart open, and didn’t see any difference. Watch the price at Walmart double as they have been way to cheap and alert, my Walmart’s don’t have many left last I checked.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Exactly why the bypass valve is inside! Nice job, Glad I'm not alone.

[@joebologna3490]

My own personal use, I run Mobile 1 20k motor oil full synthetic 5w-30 high mileage, and the same brand and style filter. I also add a can of BG MOA to each oil change at 6000 miles. I have an Acura CL type s. I did notice the oil leak I had seemed to go away. I absolutely love your review. I'm a big fan of Mobil 1 myself, but that's just me. Keep up the good channel!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It’s always a compromise, like with air filters. The better it filters, the sooner it becomes restrictive and needs changing. The less it filters the more it flows and the longer it will last between changes, but at the cost of not filtering as well. None will allow particles larger than bearing clearances to pass, unless they are neglected and bypass.

Dang, first of all; thank you for spending $40 odd bucks to destroy oil filters to see what's inside of 'em! Second of all; I think manufacturers should show a break down image, displaying the anatomy of their filter, on the back of the box or something. Third; OEM seems to be the best, and the safest because it's made to spec right out the door, not saying the premium filters are bad, but for a daily driver I'd be confident in OEM.

[@FordBossMe]

[@c.d.7742]

I have always used OEM filters for daily driving. However, I have a couple Ford Racing that I purchased to try. I might use one of them on the Mustang or Marauder if I take it to the track for some hard driving. If the USA border ever opens up for vehicle crossing, I am planning on taking a long road trip with the Town Car. So am trying to decide on filter to use with Royal Purple synthetic oil for longer than my standard 5k km oil change. Back in '97 on a long road trip to Alaska with the old Dodge pickup I had an oil change done at one of those quick change places. Never again! When I got home and tried to change the oil I had a heck of a time getting the plug out. Finally broke it free with a breaker bar and foot against a wheel for solid leverage. Almost a full three threads off the pan came out on the plug!!!!!!! Idiots can torque an oil plug like that, and yet I hear of wheels coming loose because they forgot to torque the lug nuts???? On my winter car I change between winter tires and summer tires each on their own rims, and have never had a lug nut back off because I torque them carefully to 100ft/lbs. I have also never had an oil drain plug back out on any of my vehicles, tractors or equipment and I just make sure they are torqued snugly by hand without using any torque wrench.

Its nice to get a video with Amsoil in it, without having an Amsoil salesman in it. Ive used the Ford racing filters for years, they have all the factory perks plus more obviously. Better burst rate and longer oci if wanted (I have averaged 5-8500 miles for years). Only downside is cost, unless you buy in bulk. On most videos/internet posts it seems the only ones talking about amsoil products are amsoil salesmen, so dilutes trust in products. All seem to be great filters though. Thanks for cutting these open.

[@miketonon7946]

I went from Motorcraft to Amsoil oil filters and one thought I had, was that maybe they filter so good, it’s actually choking the oil flow. Especially since I went from 5,000 miles with auto store on sale full synthetic oil, to 10,000 miles with Amsoil signature series oil. The first time I changed to Amsoil, I sent the used Amsoil oil to a lab and they said I could’ve gone to at least 13,000 miles. But to play it safe and considering that as an engine wears, oil gets dirtier faster, I’ll stick with 10,000 miles.

@@FordBossMe true I agree with you.every vehicle is different. I always have had great luck with my Japanese vehicles I drive them till about 300,000 miles and then get a new one. So far none have let me down.

Could you do another video like this comparing some of the "controversial" Fram filters? Maybe their basic vs their higher end Synthetic ones? Would be cool to see :)

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

Stephan Cox has some oil filter comparisons with the Fram filters kzbin.info/www/bejne/amSWY2Chaa6BfLM

[@FordBossMe]

Yes I would be happy to do that

[@HSKFabrications]

Lol yeah all their "extra guard, super guard, tough guard, hyper guard, synthetic guard..etc"

Fram is not worth a shit!!!

[@Doug_Hefernen]

I have been using the K&N gold series oil filter with Amsoil and see no reason to change. Good video.

[@FordBossMe]

You'll see a reason the more you hang around

[@pls822]

As I appreciate many of these filter cutaway comparisons videos there seems to be a lack of emphasizes and importance of the location of the filter bypass that is activated more often than most people know, a direct flow filter bypass that is located on the mount end of the filter is always preferred over one that allows the oil to flow over the dirty filer element and back into the engine such as the AmsOil filter does in this video. It is unfortunate that through the years this importance has diminished with many spin on oil filter manufactures and the choices now seem to be limited. I give much credit to Motocraft for keeping (as much as possible) such design, many engine manufactures switched to element type for this reason to insure the bypass be direct, and many (mostly in the past) called for spin on filters without bypass valves as the valve assembly were installed in the mount itself to insure that direct bypass. These are the type I seek out for all my vehicles including motorcyles and I give credit to S&S cycles for having such design. More attention to this is needed today especially with the lower micron ratings of these filters and with such small size offerings you could bet on that bypass being activated more often than we all would like. Sincerely, Old geerhead, Paul Timpani

Awsome video, I'm a little disappointed in the Ford filter I would have thought it would be built a little better. Thank you.

[@Commissar0617]

amsoil filter for my '16 fpiu is about 50% longer than the valvoline that was installed immediately after i bought it

[@gusgiesel]

I would assume the baseplate on the Ford Racing filter is much heavier due to the intended application. Racing is a very harsh, abusive environment. Also, racing engines can have much higher oil pressures than street engines. I also vote for the factory filter for average street use with normal service intervals below 10k miles.

[@acemobile9806]

I can confirm the anti-drainback valve on Motorcraft filters works great. The 910S fits Yamaha outboards perfectly & since the filter is mounted upside down, a good anti-drainback is critical. The oil light on my Yami 150 goes out immediately even after sitting for quite some time. I've also run Motorcraft on everything else without fail for years. Best value out there but curiously even the FPP doesn't have a coil support spring like a Wix. Just out of curiosity, are higher-end cars like the GT350, GT500 & the Ford GT equipped with the FPP filter standard from the factory? They should be for the price 🤔

[@Alkatraz415]

The basic Ford filter bypass valve is directly under the drain back valve. During flow, those nubs on the anti drain back valve prevent it from flattening (opening) all the way and blocking the bypass valve. The "stiffness" of the Ford anti drain back valve isn't to keep it closed. It is to prevent it from fully opening.

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

Isn't it weird how a cartridge filter is way more expensive but is the same thing as a spin on filter minus the casing, pressure relief valve and pretty paint?

[@FordBossMe]

It is

[@brandonwallach2821]

It's a bit off to judge by sight alone. More or larger might have less resistance maybe. Amsoil filters are made from a synthetic material and last longer 1 year 15k miles. Those Ferds are more like a 5k 6 month filter. So if you change the oil every 6 mo. get the cheaper ones but if you run 1 year / 10k-15k (using Amsoil of corse) then the best is the Amsol filter.

[@FordBossMe]

It's a bit off to not do more research on a person channel before judging what they do? Yeah! Thought so

[@fordtechlife]

That ford racing filter obviously very high quality I also wanna say the video quality of that s21 ultra top notch brother 💪💯👊🔧🇺🇲👍🚗

[@FordBossMe]

Thank you I appreciate that and it does do a great job

[@frasiec]

Motorcraft filters work on my old Ford just fine. If they are only 3 bucks at Walmart, I’ll go get it from them

[@Taino5.0]

Love the video. Really was between a racing one and oem. But I rather swap my filter every oil change with a factory filter. If I bought the racing I would change it every oil change too and it would get expensive quick on my Mustang.

[@whatinthrworld23459]

thank you for your sacrifice. Im gonna stick with those big fat ford racing filters for my 2020gt.

[@matthewq4b]

The Motorcraft bypass design is built on top so when oil bypasses it does not pick up all the sludge and crap that has settled in the bottom of the filter and pump it through the oiling system. The bottom bypass alone fails the Amsoil filter and solidly puts it in the DO NOT BUY OR USE category.

[@matthewq4b]

@@Johnny747CB And you have no clue what you are talking about. The Bottom bypass is avoided by all but the cheapest filters. But hey congrats on showing off that double digit IQ of yours.

[@bricegraham8256]

Motocraft is what I run in my 05 Mazda 3. Mainly because that gen of the Mazda shares the same block as the Ford Focus. So technically it's OE for the car. Plus it's honestly a good quality filter vs other filters available for my car. Eventually in the future I wanna run a Puralater in it to see how well it works. They have a crap ton of pleates

[@islandtime1402]

So... factory filter, more often (because it's cheaper) seems like it's best.

[@JA-ux7dd]

You should do a review on that can cutter.

[@austin3161]

I actually just bought the same one at the beginning of the year on Amazon. I’ve used it on car, truck, and tractor oil filters. Works great, it’s sharp and doesn’t take long to get through any filters. Also makes clean cuts. I would definitely recommend.

[@wirdy1]

Same principle as the copper pipe cutter I've used for years. Who'd have thought there was a market for a larger tool that allows folk to cut open oil filters? 😊

[@charliedc2A]

Ford racing filter is very nice. Great video my friend keep it up. 👍

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

Exactly what I was expecting to see. The larger surface in the racing filter allows more oil flow, and less restriction, which is critical to engine components when singing a full tune. The extra $ may be $ well spent when your on the track, seeing the rev limiter frequently! Thanks for spending time and $ yet again for unbiased, factual information for your viewers! We do appreciate it!

[@WizzRacing]

You have to use a Race Track Approve filter anyways..One that meets their high burst rating..Why the Base and O-Ring are so big.. They can't strip out or blow out around the O-Ring seal...

[@TruckingShooter]

I'd say for most people yeah just get the factory filter and change your oil regularly. I think though if I was going for a hard use case like towing a heavy trailer across a few states I'd change the oil first and go with the Ford racing one.
