Lil' help here?

Bought air filter (Wix) and it looks nothing like my original. Much thicker. Did O'Reilleys screw up and give me the wrong filter?

Does it Fit? Maybe its just longer fins for better filtration.

Well, I found Kaiser's post over on SVTOffroad where he cross-referenced every brand's filter part # and sure enough it's the right one.

He also said you can get these 2/$30 on Amazon. I paid that for one.

Ford really cheaped out on the OE Motorcraft filter.

My k&n was shorter than stock.

I heard (never actually seen) that the Raptor got two different air filters. A short one like your old one (mine was the same) and a tall one like the wix. By vin, according to the Motorcraft catalog, mine is supposed to have the short one. I dunno if Ford got cheap or what. Next time I go to replace mine I'm going to look for the tall Motorcraft.

Parts can differ sometimes like that brand to brand, id just double check the cross reference number and if it matches up and fits good its probably ok.

The original filter in my Raptor was the taller one from FoMoCo. The replacement from FoMoCo is now shorter. Was a little disappointed. Will likely go to the Wix or other brand that has more filtration. Don't know why Ford did this?

I think I should change mine. I have 14,000 on the stock filter. I'll do that today because I am bored.
