Redhawk: if you have a 98+ Contour then you use the Motorcraft filter FL2005 according to my manual. The pre 98s use FL200. I'm not sure if the K&N will work properly but one way to find out is to go to a parts store that carries both filters (Advance Auto Parts). Hold the filters side by side and examine them to see if they look similar. The important part is to look carefully at the threaded hole and the rubber gasket/seal. If those match then you should be good to go. Maybe buy both filters and when you get under the car for your next oil change, just try the K&N first. If it doesn't work just return it. No harm done! Anyway, good luck.
