    ford fl820s is what should be used on the 2003 in your avatar pic unless something has been modified for different filters.

    They are interchangeable however the 820s has higher capacity, with a 16psi bypass vs the 8psi bypass on the fl500s, so there is a lot of difference.

    Cool

    I've gone through a few of these in the last 20k miles with great success. Anybody else ever use them?

    The housing is finned to help cooling and the filter element inside is replaceable.

    Plus it's nice bling!

    So I just checked the mobil web site to see if they offered a different oil filter for the 2003 supercharged engine and they dont so are they missing something or am I ?

    That's a one time bling purchase. You just change out the filter element inside and those aren't that expensive.
    You just change your oil the same time as you normally would. Although with synthectic oil, a good filter and careful driving it's probably needed a lot less often than the old school cars with petroleum oil and fram filters.

    I don't know mobil filter part #'s, the Ford branded Motorcraft oil filter for a 2003 5.4L is the FL-820s, it should not be different from the base engine f150's. The fl500s mentioned here is intended for the newer engines and are spec'ed differently.

    Mobil1 lists a M1-210 and a MO4651 for the 03 HD. I've always used the M1-210
    The M1-210 states Extended Life...??? Does anyone know the differences?
