Noticeably how? Being heavier or having a thicker shell doesn't really mean much. Internally they are not really much better. Motorcraft is a rather solid brand when it comes to oil and filters.I just decided to switch to Mobil 1 filters. They're a couple dollars more at $10, but they are noticeably heavier duty, and are easily found at Walmart.
The shell and gasket are both thicker. It feels more like a racing filter that is made to handle a little more pressure. The filter element is also one of the better ones on the market when you tear them apart and compare them. Standard MC filters are basically a Purolator filter, since I believe they are made by them. They're also good quality filters. I've never heard of a standard FL-500S MC filter failing on an NA engine. That said, if I was to boost or track the car regularly, I would get the Mobil 1 over the regular MC. Needed? Not really. Mainly just for an extra bit of overkill.Noticeably how?
