Took my car to the dealership for an oil change. Second oil change in 4.5k miles (1 track day). Oil life monitor reads 37% - though I never reset it after the first change at ~2k miles.

Anyway, the dealership just called me that the tech drained the oil and THEN realized they don't have a new filter in stock. My options are

A) Leave the car overnight while they source an aftermarket filter. Lead time on OEM part is unknown.
B) Have the old filter put back on.

Leaning towards option B since I have another track day coming up in October, so realistically the oil is going to get changed again within 1,000 miles.

Curious to the wisdom of the crowd?

Also, they had this epic Ford GT in for service too:

This happened to me in PA, but they were able to source an OEM filter in a few hours.

Swapped out my stock nuts for those sweet sweet Gorilla nuts when changing back to my street wheels. Those Gorilla nuts sure are smooth and hefty.

Ended up reusing the old filter and burning off the first 1% of oil life in style.

Just FYI for anyone looking for the OEM filter, I bought the 10 qt 5W50 plus OEM oil filter kit from Kmanparts last week.

https://k-mansparts.com/2017-motorcraft-10qt-5w-50-full-synthetic-oil-change-kit-gt350-detail.htm

This was the only place I could find with an in stock OEM filter that wasn't $40+

Oops I just saw that it says out of stock there too. Damn. Well maybe they will restock.

LMR has 2087's. Just ordered one and got shipment confirmation for this weekend. I also personally wouldn't loose a wink of sleep using the Amsoil filter.

Thanks for the heads up on the oil filter shortage…
Note to self, plan way ahead. Better yet just have an extra on hand.
Ironically on my way home I was chatting with the Uber driver about how the total lack of new cars and parts is getting a bit eerie. Never thought that something as basic as an oil filter would run out though haha.

At this rate I’ll be lucky to get my hands on a new Cup 2 by Christmas..

Been stockpiling Cup's for about 6 mths now. Have 4 Fronts and 2 rears. They are take offs but work well on the track.

I just tried to order the filter from LMR but someone beat me to the last one. I added it to the cart fine and then in checkout my total was a lot lower. Snooze you lose I guess :(

I'll grab an Amsoil one this go around

Shit that may have been my bad. I ordered two from LMR. If you’re in need I can flip one your way as soon as they arrive!
