I have been reading about some people who have been having issues with their oil filters coming loose and losing oil.
I have a 17 GT350 with a Sept 16 build date. My car has the screw on filter which appears to have some reliability issues with staying tight on the car. After reading of some of the other people headaches I am starting to wonder if it might make sense to purchase the Cartridge Oil Filter Adapter Kit and have the dealer install it. I'm thinking this might be a good insurance plan against any potential issues down the road.
Now knowing my luck the week after I do this Ford will do a recall and have all the screw on oil filter cars recalled to have this mod done.
Ford changed the filter housing for a reason and I wish they would just address it via a recall but I suspect the amount of money it has cost them to fix certain engines hasn't exceeded some threshold to just address this issue.
Has anyone on here done this mod? If so, just curious to hear your experience and what it cost.
Here is a link to the GT350 Cartridge Oil Filter Adapter Kit for those that are interested.
