Hey everyone. So I went to Wally World and they no longer stock the FL1995 filters only FL1995-A so I placed an order with RiffRaff for some FL1995’s and when they showed up they were the FL1995-A’s. Good to go or are these different?? What is the A that I’m not used to seeing??
They look shorter but I’m not certain on that. Should I run them or send them back? Truck is an E99 F250 Superduty 7.3. Thanks for any help!
I don’t think there is any difference, looks to me like they changed contractors making it because it is a new box, and the crimping on the top of the filters looks different. Basically I don’t think any of it matters.
FWIW, Rockauto is showing both as options for my 2001, and lists the FL1995 as an alternate for the FL1995A. A few pennies difference in price. Curious.
Other than markings and a new flat gasket, rather than bevelled in the non-A model, I can't tell the difference. Filter and box both say "Majority of content made in USA."
This one's going on the Ex mid-week. Not sure what the reservation here is to use it. And if Clay is stocking them, I'd be more inclined to trust it.
Good post, I had the same question. I pick up the "A" and am doing an oil change in the next few days, I too was confused why the change. I guess if it fits and it filters then there is nothing to worry about.
I read a post a little while ago, the A is the new 1995 filter. If you look inside through the large hole in the top, you should see a difference in the metal sleeve I think it was. One has holes the other has slots or something like that. In the end I don't think it matters.
Anything Motorcraft seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper and now made in China too.
