Yo Greg,

I use an FL-1HP mounted remotely.

Only problem to date is one defective filter The symptom was rapidly fluctuating oil pressure at idle and every other speed immediately after I did an oil and filter change. The mechanical gauge looked like a windshield wiper on steroids

Changed to another new FL-1HP filter and the symptom went away.

Weird.

Got 16K on the engine now, including some "rough service" such as a couple hundred miles at WFO on the track at Sebring and no problems with them so far, other than the above noted one.

Haven't been able to find a way to get this one to Motorcraft for their post-mortem yet, but still trying.

Tom
