Talk about irony. It turns out the previous owner was using this filter!! Did an oil change yesterday and found out. Bought a dozen Motorcraft FL500s filters via rockauto.com @ $3.72 a filter. Might as well go with the OEM filter.

When I changed the oil I learned something new (by accident). Apparently if you leave the oil pan drain bolt off (after draining out the oil) and then remove the Oil Filter....you'll get a bunch more oil that comes out of the oil pan (and of course some from the filter area as well)! Made a bit of a mess as I wasn't expecting that.
