IDI oil filters?

hey ya'll, gettin' ready to do my first oil change on my '93 7.3. went to Wal-mart and got 4 gallons, (overkill, I know), of their cheapest 15w-40, but of course their selection of filters was a bit lacking, and the part number book was missing! grabbed what I thought was the closest looking, Motorcraft filter, FL-1995. turns out that is for the powerstroke (and of course says so on the box, duh), anyway, could anyone tell if I could still use that on my IDI? Iif not I can just go to my local Napa, but they are a significant mark-up compared to wally-world.
thanks in advance...

You want the FL784... I'm not sure if the FL1995 will work at all.
 
yeah, looks I'll be headin' Napa tomorrow, wal-marts 40 miles away, so either way, it's gonna cost me, lol.

Works just fine, gives a bit more capacity than the stock IDI filter. Actually is a common upgrade.
 
hmm, interesting, thanks Fellro, guess it's good I bought 16qts. of the black gold!
