Motorcraft FA-1902 Air Filter

GoOD filter, good flow. All the bs hype is just that my 2013 6.7 power stroke is deleted and tuned. I RUN this stock filter because my buddy has the same truck with same pipe and tune, except it's a 2012 and he paid 100$ plus for a aftermarket air filter the reusable kind k&n . I RUN a truck fleet and we have a filter flow booth we use to clean and check filter flow. So. The configuration of the stock and k&n are just alike. Except the material they are made of are different. We placed them both in the filter booth the stock filter was brand new, the k&n was used but we cleaned it and applied the oil perfectly as directions indicated. We know what were doing been mechanicing and racing for years. Ok, so, the stock filter flowed 623.7 cfm at 71 degrees with no pleat movement through a 3 inch diameter tube.The k&n filter flowed 593.7 cfm at 71 degrees with no pleat movement through a 3 inch diameter tube. Any higher cfm and both filters started to collect there pleats together. So, the next test was longevity, we installed the stock filter in his truck for 5000 miles of the same driving course to from work about 72 miles a day. We removed it and it flowed at 594.7 we installed the k&n did the same milage, removed it and it flowed at 398.6, so there you go. We also both noticed that larger particals were released by the stock filter and trapped in the lower part of the air box. The k&n being oiled collected everything. This is what contributed to the k&n being more restricted at 5000 miles. The truck also had an check engine light that I will explain in a minute. No bs just the plain fact. We both also noticed that when we inspected the air duct on the clean air side it was spotless after we removed the stock filter. The inspection of the clean air side of the duct after removing the k&n revealed an oily residue, black in color that coated the air duct and the mass air flow sensor. This also explains his engine light after running the k&n. We do not promote anyones air filters or work for Ford or anything, we just wanted to see if the hype was bs. We think so now. We also noticed that upon cleaning the k&n for the second time, the material the filter was made of had started to fray and could be pulled loose with our fingernails. So that's out test. The k&n flowed less when clean than the OEM filter and way less after 5000 miles than the OEM filter. I absolutely believe the oil is good at collecting particals but is a major problem also. If you don't absolutely clean every bit of the oil and dirt out of the k&n filter the cleaner disolves the oil and grime letting it flow through the filter and get sucked into the intake after reoiling it and reinstalling it. I heard my whole life growing up that k&n was the best high flowing filter made and it protected your engine fine. I absolutely disagree. I hear guys saying they get better mpg and more power. There's absolutely no way. I think there wishful thinking comes from how much they paid for the filter.

Good product.

No funny business... it is an authentic Motorcraft replacement. Very pleased

It's a quality OEM filter for my 2015 Ford F-350 Powerstroke. I prefer to run the factory paper filters over an oiled filter or other common aftermarket cold air intake filters. I've also used the Wix brand filter and think it's just as good as this.

Factory replacement. Cheaper than the local auto parts store.

If this is the right size for your 6.7L diesel, it's a clear winner. Very well made, solid filtration and easily installed. My colleague who is a Ford diesel master mechanic will not use anything else in his vehicle, that says enough for me.

The craftsmanship appeared high quality! The paper filter color was nice! Ford's air filter housing has a spring tension vacuum gauge with colored flow indicator. Green is good flow, red means it's clogged or restricted. Well just a few weeks of use and the gage was in the red! I reset it 3 times & it went to red again. Normal highway driving. No extra dusty conditions. I have my engine tune set to 120 hp so it demands more flow, I'd imagine, but the previous paper filter, over 9 months old, never reached the red, it was always low to mid orange, unless I full throttled the engine, and even then it barely was into the red. Anyway as a new filter I was surprised to see the flow gage fully maxed out. I surmise that this paper filter does not have good air flow! I believe the filtration is excellent, but at the expense of flow.I like this company and what it stands for. I support their mission and vision. Without scientific tests I cannot confirm the actual flow rate. According to the spring though, it was in the red. Cheers. So neither a good or bad review-Great quality made! With normal smooth driving I'm sure this filter is EXCELLENT!!!

Good price for a OEM Filter.
