Ford 73L Power Stroke Engines Gain Toptier Oil Filter Option

Imagine a frigid winter morning when starting your vehicle becomes a challenge as engine oil thickens in the cold, struggling to circulate properly. Or picture extended drives where accumulated contaminants gradually clog the oil filter, compromising filtration efficiency and ultimately accelerating engine wear. These scenarios represent genuine risks for every Ford 7.3L Power Stroke owner.

The Motorcraft FL1995A oil filter addresses these concerns through precision engineering and rigorous quality standards, delivering comprehensive engine protection specifically designed for this powertrain.

As an OEM-specified component for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles, each Motorcraft FL1995A oil filter incorporates twelve high-quality components assembled to exacting specifications. This construction ensures consistent filtration performance under demanding operating conditions.

• Reinforced Steel Housing: The precision-engineered steel casing undergoes specialized flattening treatment for optimal engine sealing, with corrosion-resistant coating and ergonomic grooves facilitating installation and removal.
• Pressure Relief Valve: This critical component activates during cold starts or filter blockage scenarios, maintaining oil flow to prevent engine damage while minimizing contaminated oil backflow.
• Anti-Drainback Valve: Constructed from temperature-resistant composite materials, this valve prevents oil drainage when the engine is off, eliminating dry starts that contribute to premature wear.
• Advanced Filtration Media: The redesigned filter matrix demonstrates enhanced contaminant capacity, effectively capturing microscopic particulates including metal debris, carbon deposits, and abrasive dust that degrade engine performance.

Beyond particulate filtration, the FL1995A contributes to extended engine longevity, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced maintenance requirements. Its design specifically accommodates the operational parameters of Ford's 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine, having undergone extensive validation testing to ensure compatibility.

The filter's integrated systems work synergistically to maintain optimal oil viscosity across temperature extremes while preventing the circulation of damaging abrasive particles through the lubrication system.
