I recall Purolator used to make many Motorcraft filters.Wix makes the "FoMoCo", (not Motorcraft) filter that come on most, if not all Fords from the factory. They used to be made by Champ Labs. Motorcraft Brand are mainly made by Purolator. However Mann/Hummel now owns both Wix and Purolator, so they could potentially interchange brands for logistical or production capicity etc. Not saying they have or will, but I would say it's possible.
STROKERDUSTER,
Thanks. Believe me not trying to start a filter war. That's why I didn't state the failed (Mazda 6) filter brand initially, but linked it instead. I have been using Wix/Napa 31348 on my 2.0 EB Edge. I think Wix is a great filter. I think the Purolator sourced Motorcraft are high quality too, especially and probably more so in the smaller sized 910, 400 & 500 filters. I would agree it's probably extremely rare for a filter to fail. But as you mentioned above, if I understand correctly, is that customer got burned simply because they had an aftermarket filter on?? Despite no proof that the filter in use at the time caused or let the metal shaving through to make the oil pump fail. That's kind of my point I guess. With a Motorcraft on, namely a 910S, there would or should be no controversy in the event of an oil related failure. I started this post, because I have seen people ask "will using a _______ oil/air filter void my warranty?"
