Oil Filter #

I'm looking to buy some oil filters online. What is the difference between the FL-2016 and the FL-2016W?

I think the filter is actually the same and the W indicates some difference in the package (box or bag or color, etc). I know that both part numbers are listed for use with the 6.0L engine. Maybe someone will chime in with more definitive details.

I normally buy the Racor filter from Diesel Filters Online (see link below). It is a few bucks cheaper and Racor makes the filter for Motorcraft.
