Part number for 2017 GT350R oil filter assembly

[GT350fanatic]

What additional info do you want or need that wasn’t covered here? If you can get a 2062, get it and use it. Otherwise the 2087 is the correct filter. Or get an Amsoil EA15K43. That’s really all there is to it. If you’re looking for technical specs between the two filters, the support inside the filter is different, the media may be different; it’s just an update/redesign. Not much you can really do about it since the 2062’s are going away. Don’t overthink it.

Hi,

You are correct. The part number FL-2062 has been updated to FL-2087 by Ford for 2017 and above 5.2 L V8 engines. AMSOIL EA15K43 is not available anymore with Amsoil dealers or Amsoil website for 2017 (maybe a few old stock units can be available here and there somewhere around). Hopefully they will release an updated filter soon and get the website updated. For 2019 year, Amsoil has posted EA15K43-EA as the recommended equivalent of FL-2087 filter, I suppose that should fit the 2017, 2018 year engines as well.

I know it's a late reply. I just went through the same issue, called Ford Performance to confirm FL-2087 is the upgrade for FL-2062, yes it is. Seems the filter paper is thicker than the older version filter. Now Ford has updated the dealer and parts catalog to show FL-2087 as the only recommended filter for 2017 and upwards V8 5.2L engines.

Good to know, thank you!

Where did you get this info? I ask because it is incorrect. The 43 is available and listed right on the drop down when you search for a filter to add to your shopping cart. Someone may be thrown off track because it does not show up when you do a vehicle search. This is a glitch that they are working to fix (it was there and fell off; it was not removed intentionally from the vehicle search function for any specific reason). There are also no updates coming to the 43 that anyone is aware of. Just an educated guess on my part based on my knowledge of Amsoil products, but the Amsoil filter in Amsoil's eyes does not need an update just because the 2062 was updated/phased out. The Amsoil filter would have been superior to the 2062 to begin with. And as I stated elsewhere, no one has a clue why the 2062 was updated, and any speculation that it's related to this engine is just that, speculation. The 2062 (and now 2087) filter is an off the shelf filter in Ford's inventory and used on several other vehicles. It's just as likely that the update was driven by something not even remotely related to us. Only because it's relevant, I'm a dealer and have a buddy at Amsoil in their tech department; that's the source of my info.

I called my nearest Amsoil dealer to place an order for the 5w50 oil and the filter, he mentioned oil filter is not available. I'm sure he went through the website and hit the glitch you are mentioning. Hopefully Amsoil will fix this glitch soon.

I just searched the website the way you suggested and yes i stand corrected, it's available as Part number: EA15K43 with its product code: EA15k43-EA.

Thank you for the information, it helps for me and the community.

The 43 is available ... someone may be thrown off track because it does not show up when you do a vehicle search...a glitch that they are working to fix ...

I did a search and it comes up now - it's been fixed.

...the 2062 was updated/phased out...

I don't think it's fair to say that Ford phased out the 2062; they didn't. It's still in use for a selection of smaller engined Ford vehicles. What Ford did was remove the FL2062 from the service and parts system for the Voodoo engine and replace it with the FL2087.

The issue here is whether it's safe to say that an alternative filter designed to replace the FL2062 is a suitable replacement for the FL2087. The facts from Ford are that the 2062 and 2087 are not similar enough to allow the 2062 to be a suitable replacement for the 2087. With that in mind, it's risky to argue that while the FL2062 is no longer ok in a Voodoo, a well-crafted aftermarket copy of an FL2062 is just fine.

If the 43 filter passes the same bench and engine tests that an FL2087 passes, then great, but if that information is not available from your buddy in the tech department, then I'd be wary of raising expectations.

...while the FL2062 is no longer ok in a Voodoo...

Fair enough. But you would think, as strong of a statement as this is, they'd do a bulletin, recall, or some other alert to tell dealers and owners to stop using the 2062 right away. But apparently this is not the case. I just had my dealer pull a report against my vin. Nothing addressing oil filters, nothing. While they have spec'd the 2087 for all the cars, I think saying the 2062 is unsuitable is probably a bit of a stretch.

FYI...
I have a 2017 Fusion Sport with the 2.7 EcoBoost and it uses FL-2062, but it was superseded with FL-2062-A. The 3.0 in the Explorer ST also uses this filter. In any case, I bought an Amsoil Ea15 for the 2.7 just to see what it was. The photos of the FL-2087 you guys are posting looks like the same filter element as the Amsoil Ea15, which explains the price delta of $30 per filter for the FL-2087 and the $5-$6/filter for the FL-2062/FL-2062A.

My thought is that the 5.2 V8 uses some expensive synthetic engine oil and it has to be tracked, so the synthetic media of the FL-2087 is better suited for the factory oil change intervals versus the cellulose of the FL-2062/FL-2062A. You might actually save money using the Amsoil over the FL-2087 but this thread is over a year old so people smarter than I probably have new findings.

any follow up confirmation that 2018's should use the newer FL-2087? i just chatted with FP and the guy just told me to ask my dealer. didnt find it helpful it all.

I have a 2017, with a 2019 motor. The later 2017's and newer all use the same cartridge style oil filter size. I would 100% use the 2087 filter. it has a reinforced core. i learned the hard way that the 2062/2062-A will scrunch up and cause oil pressure/flow restrictions. My oil pressure went from being pegged at ~80PSI on cold starts to 120+.

Just looked at rock auto, who normally has the best prices on oil and filters. Price for a 2087 is 29.79. Pulled up my receipt from Feb 2020 when I bought 4. Price then was 20.79 each. That's a big jump in the course of a few months.

Their site shows it is available. I just ordered some months ago as a Preferred Customer. The inner core is plastic and not the metal like FL2087.

i'm changing my oil in about a month, wanna get as much consensus here that it's best to move to the 2087 (from the 2062a). with the 2062 my car has been flawless so wondering if i should or not make the move. anyone else go from 2062 to 2087?

I switched. Have had multiple track days on both types without any issues with either.

I feel like they updated it in the cars for a reason. The only negative is the price difference, but how often are you changing your oil? Once a year?

If you read through this thread, you should have picked up on it, but...You don't have a choice. If not already, the 2062 is going away.
