The Motorcraft Oil Filter FL820SW is designed and recommended by Ford Motor Company, signifying unmatched quality and reliability. As the preferred choice for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, Motorcraft parts ensure exceptional performance across a wide range of automotive needs, from engine oil to transmission assemblies. Built specifically for these brands, Motorcraft products undergo rigorous testing, both in labs and on real roads, to guarantee they meet the highest standards. This oil filter is equipped with features that enhance its longevity and efficiency, such as a polyester mixture that strengthens the filter media, allowing it to endure exposure to hot engine oil for extended periods.

The filter includes an anti-drain back valve made from silicone, designed to resist extreme temperatures, ensuring that engine starts are smooth and free from dry starts. The robust construction features a steel center tube and a lock seam design, which withstands pressure changes and prevents leakage. Additional innovations, like bonded end plates that maintain consistent pleat spacing and a rust-resistant painted steel case, take durability to the next level. The design also includes flutes for easier removal and a crimped and rolled end cap seam for a secure seal. Motorcraft filters comply with SAE US/Car 36 engineering standards and provide excellent protection for engines, especially during longer service intervals. With a large filter media area that boasts 80 percent efficiency for filtering particles of 20 microns or larger, the cellulose and polyester blend media ensures high capacity and strength. The pressure relief valves incorporated in these filters maintain a steady oil supply under extreme cold or if the filter becomes clogged, effectively preventing debris from damaging the engine. In choosing the Motorcraft Oil Filter FL820SW, customers select a product that not only meets their expectations but exceeds them, delivering the best performance for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles.
