Oil Filter for Motorcraft

Motorcraft FL-500S Original Version Oil Filter

The Motorcraft oil filter is engineered to the high-quality standards of the Ford Motor Company and is recommended by Ford as the original equipment replacement filter for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Designed to protect against engine wear, the filter screens out abrasives such as carbon, sand, dust, and metal bits before they can enter the oil.

The filter's pressure-relief valves serve two critical functions: minimizing the chance of contaminated oil circulating back into the engine and maintaining the supply of oil to the engine under extreme cold conditions or when the filter becomes clogged. This dual purpose helps ensure the engine's reliable operation.

The outer casing of the Motorcraft filter is constructed of steel, "ironed" for a precise fit, and painted to resist rust. Additionally, the casing features flutings that facilitate easy removal during filter changes. The efficient filter media offers increased dirt-collecting capability and the ability to capture more engine-harming particles, providing enhanced protection for the engine.

To further safeguard the engine, the filter incorporates silicone anti-drain back valves. These valves help prevent oil from draining out of the filter and the engine when the engine is not running, and they also resist the aging effects that an engine's high heat can cause.

In summary, the Motorcraft FL-500S Original Version Oil Filter is engineered to the highest standards, offering comprehensive protection for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Its pressure-relief valves, steel construction, efficient media, and anti-drain back valves work together to ensure reliable engine performance and extended engine life.
