4 Motorcraft Features & Benefits Motorcraft Oil Filters Pressure Relief Valves o Features up-front (threaded-end) pressure relief valve design which prevents unfiltered oil from reaching the engine Anti-Drain Back Valve o Top selling Motorcraft oil filters utilize silicone rubber anti-drain back valves for higher heat resistance Center Tubes o Corrugated steel center tubes that withstand pressure surges and prevent leakage Quality Construction o Motorcraft filters have well-bonded end plates and consistent pleat spacing o High-quality steel case and base Media Area o Filter media is formulated to meet Ford OEM requirements and media area is larger for optimal efficiency and capacity o Pleat number and height equate to more filtering surface area and greater filtering capacity Aftermarket Oil Filters Pressure Relief Valves o Many aftermarket filters use a dome-end design relief valve which may allow unfiltered oil into the engine Anti-Drain Back Valve o Many aftermarket anti-drain back valves are constructed of nitrile rubber that can become brittle over time when exposed to hot oil Center Tubes o Many aftermarket filters have plastic center tubes Quality Construction o Some aftermarket filters are not well bonded, allowing unfiltered bypass o Some aftermarket filters may use lower-quality steel case Media Area o Aftermarket filter media is not designed to meet Ford's requirements and the media area is typically smaller

6 Motorcraft Oil Filter Product Attributes Features/Benefits Consumer Attributes Large filter media area provides optimum filtering efficiency throughout the oil change cycle Motorcraft oil filters feature anti-drain back valves to help prevent dry starts Many Motorcraft oil filter anti-drain back valves are made of silicone for greater cold/heat resistance (down to -75 and up to +450 degrees F) Pressure relief valves help maintain oil supply to the engine under extreme cold conditions, or if the filter gets clogged Location of relief valve in the majority of Ford application filters prevents settled debris from entering and potentially damaging the engine (Dome-end relief valves do not offer this protection) Robust steel center tubes and lock seam design withstands pressure surges and help prevent leakage Design Features 80% collection efficiency on particles 20 microns or larger Bonded end plates help keep consistent pleat spacing Cellulose and polyester blend media is formulated for high capacity and strength The polyester content enhances the strength of the media to withstand extended exposure to hot engine oil

7 Motorcraft Oil Filter Product Attributes Design & Testing: Testing Conducted Specifically for Motorcraft Oil Filters Multi-pass Efficiency and Capacity Tests the efficiency of the filter to filter 20 micron particles and its holding capacity High Temperature Resistance tests filter integrity at 275 degrees F Resistance to Oil Flow tests pressure differential throughout the filter at different flow rates Media Migration ensures media is not being passed downstream of the filter Anti-Drain Back Leakage tests the drain-back valve performance Fatigue Resistance tests filter for leaking, cracking, fracture or rupture; 25,000 cycles of 0 PSI to 100 PSI (some up to 125 PSI) Internal Strength& Leakage Burst Pressure Test -tests filters at a minimum of 200 PSI for 60 seconds without leakage Relief Valve Opening ensures relief valve opens at specified pressure Removal Torque Corrosion Resistance Leakage Test Unique Offerings/Special Notes 25 Parts numbers provide 87% coverage for all make vehicles currently in U.S. operation
