Ford Racing Oil Filter

[D3adch1ld]

So, did my first oil change went with Royal Purple (Special blend ;)). I had picked up an FL5000s from the dealer last time I had my Escape out there, but since I ordered a 5 gal Pail of oil, I ordered a Ford Racing Filter as well.
Soooo, took the OE filter out, that thing was tinnnyyyy, my 4 cyl DSM had a bigger one. The FL5000s was slightly taller, 3/4" or so. The Ford Racing one, is massive by comparison, its much wider and as tall as the FL5000s. The damn thing almost took a quart to fill it prior to installation, lol. No real changes on the oil pressure at cruising or idle, but it picked up about 5-7 psi at WOT, also, its a synthetic media filter, larger, stronger, and looks awesome. Never will any other filter go in my car. Well worth it.

what is the part# ?

i think this is the one being referenced: CM-6731-FL820

i've run it on both my '13 and '15 GT and yes, it takes a quart of oil alone!

Physical size and appearance isn't a very good way to compare oil filters. I'm guessing that for real racing, the emphasis is on flow and flow rate and maybe not so much on filter efficiency. After all, do real Ford racers race with oil in the sump that may have 3000 mi. or 5000 mi, or more, on it?

Isn't the standard beta rating still a valid way of comparing the two filters, the stock one and the racing version?

The problem may be finding the beta rating for the two.

You are absolutely right about this, do the search on this filter vs Royal Purple, M1, and again the OE replacement. You will see the benefit. I did my due diligence. ;)

So is the regular filter for the 5.0L Coyote the FL820?

That filter would work, but they call for an FL5000s

How does the FL820 (non ford racing) compare with the FL500S?

Everywhere I've read shows the 820 (non-FRRP) is substantially the same filter as the FRRP in this thread but $4-5 instead of $14-15.

Ive read the FRRP has SLIGHTLY more filter media inside it but they're otherwise the same size shape etc.

The FL500S is the "stock" factory type filter.

I just took mine off. I used it during my break in on the new motor.

Not sure what the difference is, but I may cut open an FL820S and one of these FRPP filters to see what the difference is.

On that note, the Amsoil version of the FL820S is likely the best possible solution. Their filtration is very good.

The FL500S looks smaller in diameter, but taller than the FL820S. Hard to say which one has more filtering media without cutting them both open and analyzing. Here's some info on BITOG website. The first 3 hits pretty much sums up the differences between the two.

I have a hard time reading the dip stick levels on this car. The other side has a lot of oil on it and the other side is about half. Only problem is I noticed the dipstick can go in both ways. D3adch1ld after your oil change what was your dipstick level at? Could you guys please post pics, thanks.
