Discontinued oil filter

I use Motorcraft on all my vehicles. Time after time and part number after part number, when the oil filter guy opens them up, they have more filter media than any other oil filter. Maybe not scientific, but damned good enough for me. I run the FL299 where it will fit (it's a two quart long filter) or the FL1A where the long one won't fit. Kitty's Escape gets the FL820S. They are high quality filters still made in America. There may be some out there that aren't, but as of yet, I haven't found one.
