I tried watching it and I have Amazon prime as well and it wouldn’t let me without the motor trend subscription

Are these oil filter part #’s being discussed here the ones I need for our ‘19 Tahoe 5.3? Assume so, but asking for confirmation.

Here is a shot of the filters cut open, most are very similar with the exception of filter media choice...

Basically, the lower level frams have a paper retainer for the filter media...the fram ultra as well the others have a metal retainer.
that said, if i recall, the motorcraft FL1A line had the better overall results. it is an interesting video, they tested flow, psi and others.

I watched....basically as put, other than the 2 lower frams..out were of no difference.

The only stand out was how the Motorcraft chooses to bypass

I will have to rewatch and explain back that portion

For what it is worth...if anyone plays with any motor mods at all, the price is worth engine masters alone.

Look closely, it lists the flow and psi of each...as well as the micron rating.

The k&n did very well as it is the smallest micron rating

If I remember correctly Purolator makes the Motorcraft filters to Ford specs.
