I use FL-400-S size for the slightly larger oil capacity & I've been using this same size filter in my Focus RS, SVTF & Tacoma 4-Cyl too.
Makes shopping & re-stocking simple...
Exactly....
But oil filters are in paper/cardboard boxes...
Besides, retail stores have already raised oil-filter prices around me...
On AMZN, It's still $3.97 per filter w/ free shipping... so I figured "why, not" I'll chance it...
Here's one cheap on eBay...

Unless you want everything including the paperback manuals...

Forgot to mention:
So I still have another/extra "retail" and painted-label version on my garage shelf... and grabbed it to compare.
I examined the oil-openings... they look the same & have the same numerical markings too.
Just by holding in hand, they feel like they weigh the same too...
So I did a recent oil change on my Ranger using Motorcraft Oil filter...
Found a deal on AMZN & ordered five of 'em...
Received them today & I inspected them... they look completely different then the one I purchased "retail" some time ago...
Logo on the new one are stickers & the cap end...
I've been wondering too...
Thought about going thru Costco & ordering Velox "Darma" model in 20's...

Got it, just posting so I can reference back the part numbers when the time comes...
Thanks.
I PM'd the seller earlier this month & came to an agreement.
But I tried following up a couple weeks ago... same thing, no response.
Who knows at this time...
You make a good point-
For me, it sometimes comes down to preference, design, and the install process... besides the cost.
I have both Mishi & Mountune parts installed on my RS... but with the Ranger I've got aFe to consider now.
Although I've had issues with both Mishi & aFe already.

vvvv MY HISTORY &...
Wished you had mentioned you were getting rid of this grille & showed me...when I was loading up the running boards. Oh well...
I would have made you an offer on the spot...
I installed one of those Mishimoto catch-can kits on my Ranger and if I remember correctly, it's a different design than the RS 2.3L version.
I'll get a flashlight and glance over again this weekend...
