3D printed oil funnels and oil filter guides temporarily halting production

[Ezatnova]

Just wanted to publicly say thanks to Jon. Parts were received very quickly and are amazing quality feeling and looking. Kind personalization in the packaging, as well.

Top notch all around!

I'll see how it all goes in 900 more miles for a 1,000 mile oil change!

Thanks Jeff, I really appreciate that! Since I don’t do any advertising I’m really thankful for you and the many that have spoken up in the past.

Goodluck on your first oil change, and don’t be afraid to watch the below video to really get a good sense for how to properly insert the oil filter guide. (Anyone who’s had an issue with leaking didn’t have it inserted properly.) Let me know if you ever have questions!!

4:26 roughly is where I discuss how to insert it properly.

What kind of site is this? I didn't know this was the kind of place to skip to 4:26 to see how to insert it properly!

Good god, how did I not realize this was also a sex ed video?

Why wouldn't a regular 5.0 oil funnel work on the M1? Is it the intake manifold that gets in the way?

The Mach 1 shares an oil adding funnel with the GT500. The oil filter guide is the piece that’s currently in development for the Mach 1.

I have my 3D products from a while back and they are very useful. I am due for an oil change. Anyone know the current best deal on oil / filter for a DIY oil change ? I recently called my local dealership and they wanted $255 for an oil change on a 2020 CFTP.

That’s not a terrible price. The parts are $150-$175 from rock auto depending on shipping. So ~$100 labor is about right if they check over standard stuff plus do the oil.

not bad to save $100 and DIY, but for me it’s more the peace of mind of knowing it’s done right and avoiding the inconvenience of waiting/getting a ride/drop off of taking it to the dealer

Let’s not forget the inevitable oil dripping on the garage floor for the next week, coming from the belly pan where the tech didn’t clean up after themselves. YMMV

Yep. I feel like the only reason I might even take it to Ford for one is a) I have two dealers 5 minutes away that are both decent and b) I have all those Ford points from buying the car and could basically get a free oil change, I think.

Yes, I know I usually do all my own changes just with three kids. It’s been hectic recently. I’ll check out rock auto. I was looking at K-man parts earlier.

FWIW, with mild googling, I couldn’t find a case discount or code for RA, but RA was still the lowest I found and lower than Bezos World

I got a case of Motorcraft last week from Orielly online for 105 (using their 20% off code). Free shipping too.
