The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Correct replacement for Fram C181-A?

Ford Motorcraft lists a cartridge filter for these as FL-20.

I'm not a fan of Fram. Bought one of their air filters for a 2016 Ford Escape we had and it didn't fit very well. In fact it was a REAL bad fit. I always use Motorcraft but needed a filter in a hurry and got the Fram at Wally World.

Next time I was at the Ford dealership I bought a Motorcraft and tossed that dumb Fram in the trash.
