ive done my oil changes on my truck since day one i went to vatozone checked the book it said to use a fl910 same thing with the computer thing at walmart i noticed the first oil change that the fl910 was smaller than my factory filter(bought the truck new) never thought anything of it because thats what the book said till tonight i was at walmart and seen a motorcraft filter book i look in it and to my suprise it says fl400s look over check the computer it says fl910
am i suposed to use a fl400s or the fl910?
did i hurt anything?starved my truck on oil and caused extra wear?
last oil change i swaped to moblie one filter and fluid but liked the motorcraft better and my wallet liked it to

Owners manual says:
2001~2008 2.3L = FL400S
2009~2010 2.3L = FL910
Motorcraft site says:
2001~2003 2.3L = FL400S
2004~2010 2.3L = FL910/FL910S
Using the 910 shouldn't have hurt anything but, if I had a 2008 2.3L, I would go by the manual that came with the truck and use the larger FL400S.
2001~2008 2.3L = FL400S
2009~2010 2.3L = FL910
Motorcraft site says:
2001~2003 2.3L = FL400S
2004~2010 2.3L = FL910/FL910S

Ford like most other manufatures are trying to go to a one filter deal....like all honda's and acura's now have the same oil filter...my brother-n-law just went through same thing on his escorts......they're goin to fase out some filters and just use one filter. thats prob why the book said one thing and lil computer thingy said another. BTW my 95 2.3 takes a FL400s
