I've been interested in these units before and did some research on them. I couldn't really tell if they would use the standard motorcraft FL-820 filter. I really didn't want to change over to a different type or size filter. Also, there are some reports where the fittings started to leak and, more concerning, line breakage thus emptying out the oil.

I don't know about the 5.4 but my Motorhome came with one from the factory, 6.8 v-10 I wonder if the same one would fit.

After installing a CAI, my oil changes aren't too bad. I do have an oil relo kit on my '72 390, (filter is straight up), and I noticed the oil pressure was a couple lbs lower with it. But no more oil running all over the place. bolted the plate to the inner side of the frame.
