I went to Kragen (or whatever it's called now) to pick up some oil and filters.
They sell the Motorcraft FL400S filter which is the part for the '94 3.0L V6.
What was interesting was that they had two in stock and they were different sizes. Same diameter and thread, but one was shorter than the other and the one I had in the truck by almost an inch.
Did Ford change the form factor on that filter? They both had the same longer part number too which was: E4FZ-6731-AB.
It just struck me as weird. So, I bought the one which was the same size as I was used to and I figured I'd ask the experts. That's you... :)

Thanks mtnrgr. I read some other posts on it which I should have read before posting. With the way I change my oil so often, I'm sure it could not matter and I trust Ford...
