- 2001 Explorer Sport
I have a 2001 Explorer Sport. In my owners manual it says to use a Motorcraft 820S filter. However it looks to have a FL-1A filter on the motor, it's to long to be the 820S. It has the 4.0 SOHC engine. The parts counter guy at Ford said the 820S is just the short version of the FL-1A. So which filter should I use? I'am thinking it's a misprint in the manual since the 4door with the same engine it says to use the FL-1A filter.
