It's a good filter, but I'd run an Amsoil or Royal Purple instead.
OH SHIT!!! UnleashedBeast got his own section, lol.
It took me a minute to see this was here.
I run the FL-1A filter with a remote mount and I have never had or heard of any issue with a Ford Racing Filter before.
There will be no issues using them. The racing version is stronger than the normal version.
However, there are better options.
Nanofiber webs are very thin. This is an inherent limitation if the web is meant to hold or absorb significant volumes of solids and/or liquids". :shrug:
Fifth paragraph down in the first article, "Polymeric Nanofibers and Nanofiber Webs: A New Class of Nonwovens", states, "As a result, nanofiber webs must be used in a composite structure, with some other nonwoven material as a support. Nanofiber webs are very thin. This is an inherent limitation if the web is meant to hold or absorb significant volumes of solids and/or liquids". :shrug:
Amsoil and Rp filters are terrible. Motorcraft, Standard Wix or Wix Racing. The standard filters offer better filtration with lower flow, the race versions of both brands offer higher flow with lower filtration. Depends on the engine needs. Amsoil oil is great, but I wouldn't trust the filters on my Briggs and Stratton. For a street car you can't beat a Motorcraft FL-820S and 5/20 or 5/30 Amsoil.
