Funny...Lotsa speculation going on. Good observation about lack of announcement around this change
So they most definitely changed the housing. Thanks for the info!
I just had my motor replaced about 2 weeks ago and it was built less than a month ago. It came with the older metal type oil filter and housing.
Same here. My replacement motor has the metal style and was replaced in winter by the end of the year.
What's So Scary About It? Mechanical things break down all the time. it's not as if the voodoo motor is somehow immune to Mechanical failure because it is in the GT350.
The engines on the GT350's are a wear item. We all tend to replace them at around 10,000 miles. Didn't anyone tell you? :lol:
Just enjoy your car, you have a warranty.
Maybe the plastic housing can handle the vibrations better without spinning free? That's my hope at least ... I am looking forward to checking which filter type my 3/17 built car has come Saturday.Funny...Lotsa speculation going on. Good observation about lack of announcement around this change
I have no experience with canister filters but don't both types involve screwing some component of the filter on, how would a canister be less susceptible to vibrations?? Locking mechanism? Higher torque specs??
Not just to you Harold but anyone else???
I talked to FP and the block has NOT been changed and the filter housing will be available to swap at some point. Stay tuned.
I just checked my '17 GT350R that was delivered in late August (HR104) and it has the standard white Motorcraft oil filter on it. I will add that I just had the oil changed for the first time less than 2 weeks ago at the dealer when they did the oil line recall.
